125. …Your secondary mirror is *only* 2.5 m (98.4 inches).

126. …M, NGC, IC, PGC, UGC, MCG, ESO, PSR, HIP & HD catalogs are just another lingo that you can recite off the top of your head including their type and specificities, but not the cost of your 70-inch aluminum-titanium teleport machine with two telrads and built-in wheelbarrow wheels.

127. …You can house a 72-inch beast in your own backyard!

Hmm on closer inspection the shadows don't seem to line up right and seems like some shadows which should be there aren't.. But on first glance it's really convincing... Where did ya get it from? :oops:

I think the problem doesn't lie in the shadows. They all seem to point towards a common light source (Sun). Could the picture really have been stretched out of proportion to exaggerate the size of the telescope? The top portion of the picture seems to be a little distorted.
