What do you pro's think this is worth ? Coming up on auction this week. Thank's for any feedback.

That large and computer controlled....wow....I'd say quite a bit. I bet a 24" quality mirror alone would run around $600. Looks really heavy too, have fun with that!! Would be a great toy though!

Well, a friend bought a 28". Cost was 28,000- 'scope alone, different design though.

A webster.

I found a blurb on the net.....This was from 1953 though....." Initially the observatory was supposed to house a 24-inch telescope valued at $30,000 in 1953 dollars, "
