Abstract:

In this talk I will report in progress in Extremely Large Telescope projects, with an emphasis on the Giant Magellan Telescope in which Australia has a 10% share. I will describe the current technical challenges that we understand these telescopes will pose and where we are with solutions and, most importantly, the money to apply those solutions.
