The Southern African Large Telescope is the largest single optical telescope in the southern hemisphere, situated at the South African Astronomical Observatory field station. SALT is funded by a consortium of international partners from South Africa, the United States, Germany, Poland, India, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
