Thumbs up Your Dream Scope?

A good way to find out what people would like to do astronomically is to have a dream thread!

Here it is!

<b>If you had a budget of $100,000 to spend on any Astro gear, what would it be?</b>

Mine would be a Celestron C20 on a pier (approx $45,000 AU), build a proper 12 foot diameter dome up the back paddock (approx $30,000) and spend the remaining $25,000 on High quality EP's, a computer to put in the Observatory and Top of the Range Astrophotography gear.

I would also keep my 12" Dob for travelling around to other sites.

What would you buy with your $100,000 budget? Would it be a few acres in the bush for viewing plus gear? or all gear?
