Not sure that something with that length lends itself to the string truss design. The angles on the strings would be very fine and possibly not stable enough. In this case a tube design would be more useable I would think.

If you don't have to move it then maybe if it could be set up in a permanent observatory complete with viewing platform it would be practical but I still think it would be too long.
