My parents have an 8" Newtonian in the garage, but the mirror badly needs re-silvering. In fact, it badly needed re-silvering when I got it, so it's never been used. Went out with my Dad's 3" Newtonian a few times, mainly to star gazing parties with people with far, far more powerful scopes. I think there was one with a 25" Newtonian, and of course about 1000 with 10-15" Schmitt-Cassegrains. I was also going to go into astrophysics, but decided molecular biology would be easier.


Oops.

I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!
