Fred is correct.

I don't think many of the people making suggestions have ever been to the observatory. One of the advertised features is to look through the big telescope at the sky.

Twenty people in the dome does not give much space for moving around.
That is the advantage of the small footprint of a 16" SCT on a fork mount that allows ease of access to the eyepiece for most people and a 16" SCT in a confined space still looks to be gigantic.
