The South African Astronomical Observatory, near Sutherland in Northern Cape, has developed an extensive internet site devoted to SALT; a $30-million project to develop the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere. Visitors with a general interest in the project can follow its progress, scheduled for completion in December of 2004. Astronomers and students will find descriptions of SALT's optical and near-infrared telescopic capabilities. All can enjoy the latest images of the skies above Sutherland gathered by the telescope.
