Hi Deep Sky! I know that many have commented on the before and after images. Initially I decided against getting the First Contact after seeing your video. I have two questions if you don't mind answering them. 1) would you buy and use First Contact again for cleaning your mirror? and 2) what size bottle did you buy for your mirror. I am cleaning a 20" mirror so my application will be similar. Thanks in advance.

Hello, serious question, can you please tell me why this telescope costs $8,000? Hear me out, you can get a PC and perhaps an entire setup for $1,000 or less. You can get a car to drive, a complex made working car, a big car that you can go inside and drive for $5,000. So why does some plastic and 2 mirrors cost $8,000? I know that the mirrors are hard to build and stuff, but hear me out, a laptop is also hard to build and it costs less than $500. Why not the 20" cost $500? Do they make them expensive only because they provide good views? Is this the trick? I don't get it. To put it differently, pricing the 20" telescope at $8,000 means that it is way harder to build than 15 computers and way harder to build than a damn car. Please tell me your opinion on this.

Can you put the cradle with the mirror in a car and go to a dark site without it just breaking and getting destroyed?
