Connecticut Star Party 22

Weekly Informal Challenge #127: Be Different

I always strive for realistic photos, so for me this is different!

The telescope front and center is a Thomas M Back 9 inch refractor.
You could buy about 200 of my 3.5 inch refractors for the cost of this setup.
The owner is the fellow with a hat, helping another amateur astronomer.
The largest scope in the left rear is a 25 inch Dobsonian mounted Newtonian Reflector.
The 9 inch cost far more than the 25 inch due to using lenses rather than mirrors!
