This article needs some dates, like when construction started and when the displayed pictures were taken. Also what are the dimensions (meters) of the CCD array?69.134.10.140 (talk)10:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The shutter (and hence the CCD, I guess) is about the size of a crate of beer:http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~ccd/shutters/omegacam.html. HTH,134.171.40.235 (talk)13:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The introductory text "It is the largest telescope in the world designed to exclusively survey the sky in visible light" is outdated.

I think the largest one is now LSST /Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with a 8.4 meter mirror.I can't find sources that explicit state it, however.Orionlee (talk)15:38, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
