The primary mirror is constructed from 91 hexagonal segments, which is less expensive than manufacturing a single large primary. The telescope is named for former Texas Lieutenant-Governor Bill Hobby and for Robert E. Eberly, a Penn State benefactor. Three instruments are available to analyze the light from the targets.
