Very familiar sight. I've been an amateur astronomer since the early 80s. I've built scopes up to 20" diameter and observed in the northern and southern hemispheres (Australia).

Evening, Woodys!

Ride home was nice. Moon is putting on a good show here.

What would the lens cost on that one?

It's a 20" diameter mirror, not a lense. Price was around $2500.
