The Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT)

"The 1.8 meter Alice P. Lennon Telescope and its Thomas J. Bannan Astrophysics Facility, known together as the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT), is a Gregorian telescope observing in the optical and infrared situated on Mount Graham in southeast Arizona, United States. It achieved its first light in 1993." - wiki source [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Advanced_Technology_Telescope]

"VATT is part of the Mount Graham International Observatory [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Graham_International_Observatory] and is operated by the Vatican Observatory [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Observatory], one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world, in partnership with The University of Arizona [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Arizona]."

"The telescope was then disassembled, shipped by freighter to the U.S.A. and transported overland to Mount Graham in 2002. The Italian partners also played a key role (along with Arizona) in developing and building the unique adaptive secondary mirror systems. They are also providing the Large Binocular Cameras, the first facility instruments for the LBT and are involved in LINC-NIRVANA.

LBT Beteiligungsgesellschaft (LBTB) (25 percent). The LBTB is a consortium of five German institutes and observatories led by the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg (MPIA). Besides MPIA, the Max-Planck-Institutes for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching (MPE) and for Radio Astronomy in Bonn (MPIfR), as well as the Astrophysical Institute of Potsdam (AIP) and the Center for Astronomy of Heidelberg University (Landessternwarte Heidelberg, LSW) are members.

The LBTB is developing the LUCIFER instruments for near infrared imaging and spectroscopy. LUCIFER 1 and 2 will operate in both “seeing” and diffraction-limited modes, the latter fully exploiting the capabilities of the adaptive secondary mirrors." - archives org source - [https://web.archive.org/web/20110725231212/http://medusa.as.arizona.edu/lbto/firstbinocularlight_press_release.htm]
