I remember as a kid growing up, and reading some astronomy books, and reading about amauters owning 12" newtonians, i would ALWAYS, go to my mums cupboards and grab her 12" aluminium cooking dish, which was about 2" high, and hold it in my 2 hands, and drool at the size of thing, not to mention the enjoyment of using such a large (To a kid) telescope. I always wished i had a 12" telescope...... Well, flew right past that bleeding number.. went straight on further to those larger numbers..
Oh yes, memories.. Now to find those mongruls that put me on that bleeding aperature road..
