World's Largest Virtual Optical Telescope Created

I think Keck's got near-IR interfometry working. I very strongly suspect VLT is doing near-IR as well, but the article doesn't say. And this use of an optical chip instead of mirrors... dunno.

I'm still waiting for the "Ohana" project that's supposed to link Keck 1+2, Subaru, Gemini, and maybe some of the 3-meter-class scopes near them through single-mode fiber. Maximum baseline if they build that? 800 meters, if I recall.
