Not cheap and I dont know if you could squeeze that into an A380 cargo container (or how many empty seats you'd need to compensate for the load) but if your keen there it is.
This mirror was mentioned in the Reflector forum of Cloudy Nights, and there was an assumption it would need refiguring and at least a re-coat before putting in a scope.
Imagine the elevator you would need to get to the EP, surely a folded design might be more practical.  |
Yes a 7 metre eyepiece height might be stretching the friendship a bit.
