Largest refractor

Hi,

Just throwing this question out there. Does anyone know what the largest non-professional refractor is in Australia -by which I mean owned by an individual? Perhaps the question should be split into the largest achromatic and the largest APO.

I have a 6" APO and there are a few of those around for sure and someone may have a Tec 180 but I do wonder if anyone seriously owns larger but they might. Anyone know?

Anyone ever looked through a refractor larger than 6"? Not buying one but really interested to know if there is a point at which the views change significantly.

Chris
