I have been thinking about this for a while and at first thought that spending such money was stupid but then I looked at myself....someone who could buy that scope would probably spend a million or two for a car, and have half a dozen, now I spent $15k plus trade in on my car and probably have $15 k (at least) "invested" in scopes, mounts, cameras,and observatories and about to spend near $20 k on yet another scope, camera and mount and given I may never get back to my van and the last observatory will need to build another observatory here at the mainhouse...really what a waste of money just to take "pretty pictures" ... But my point is its all relative..like I drive a $25k car and spend similar on a astronomy set up...so if you spend a million on your car spending similar on your astronomy hobby is no different...
