Event Description:  The event will tell about creation of the 6-m alt/az mounted telescope (BTA - Big Telescope Alt-azimuth) Special Astrophysical Observatory RAS. This is the largest optical telescope in Eurasia. The large 6-meter mirror for this telescope was manufactured at the Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory in 1970s.
