Volcano craters are pretty large. The telescope can't have that big a footprint. Does Pele hate telescopes or something? Can't they do their hocus pokus juju crap down the road and still be on "sacred" ground?
Pele takes her offerings in large denominations. Preferably greater than $50s.
There’s already a dozen or so on the Mauna Kea summit. The Keck 10 meter telescopes are beyond huge...the new one will be 30 meters.
Go up to the summit if you can...a surreal experience.
