It’s only a 10.

The scope itself is an oldy, about 11 years old now. It’s actually considered a classic. I’ve had to rebuild some of the motors, change out gears, etc. Nowadays there are much better, more imaging friendly instruments, but it’s kind of fun trying to keep it aligned and working. Only problem is imaging and processing the data takes time, and I wished I had more time to devote.

Not bad, nevertheless. I've heard the largest off-the-shelf (so to speak) scope is 20", made by Meade. I just wish I had the $30,000 lying around for it.
