Puzzle Description:

to enjoy the stars through my club's 20" diameter telescope. I wouldn't be surprised if tens of thousands of people throughout the scopes lifetime have climbed the ladder to take a look.

Fun solve. I know I would if I could.

Cool image Brian.:)

ditto #1 & 2 :)

Oh there ya are. A 20" lens? How cool is that! What's your favorite view?

There might be a few lenses that big but most big telescopes uses a parabolic mirror as the "primary". It is much cheaper to grind and avoids the problems associated with a large lens. I do love the look of images through a really good refractor (lens) telescope.

Tough to see but great idea.
