Caption: This 32-inch-diameter optical telescope made by DFM Engineering is an example of the kind of telescope the University of Utah plans to install in southern Utah, although the university has not yet made a commitment to buying any particular brand of telescope. The Willard L Eccles Foundation has awarded the university $600,000 for a 32-inch telescope and a building to house it.
