I assume the prices are largely for the mirror?

I am a little perplexed as to how one would move these monsters about. I guess a permanent observatory is the way one would have to go, or else enlist an army of willing helpers to load it up for an annual pilgrimage to a star party???

I read someone recently that we may well end up with mirrors as large as 100 inches being available to the amateur market. Imagine the logistics of transporting a 100 inch telescope to SPSP each year!!!
