Thanks Marc :) I no longer live in the highrise.... I'm now in a house and have a yard that I kept the 16" in. I used to get people stopping by all the time wondering what it was! It definitely is a big scope, I remember when I first got it I was changing some mounting brackets and I actaully had to crawl inside the scope... my wife thought it was the funniest thing. Alas, it is no longer... well, in that state. I'm converting it to a open truss design so I can mount it on my CGE Pro. It was a Sonotube tube and weighed about 60lbs on it's own (before main mirror and equipment). The tube was about 6ft long and measured almost 20in in diameter :)
