I was asked to shoot a VIP tour of the personal observatory that a retired professor from our university has set up in his yard. I was not prepared for the incredible array of huge telescopes he has. These are just two. The "small" one in the foreground has a 42" mirror. The larger one pointing straight up through the roof of the building behind has a 50" mirror waiting to be mounted. It will be the largest privately owned telescope in the world, if I'm not mistaken. I'll post a larger write-up with more pics later.
