William Herschel built the largest Herschelian but second place now goes to this scope built by Kevin Frederick which is also the largest amateur unobstructed scope. Here's a pic of his 20 inch f/5.2 next to his f/8 Chief.

Ed,

Beautiful but I have a bad neck and could not handle that downward eyepiece position. Could a diagonal be added?

I love the use of the 55 gallon priniting ink drums on Chief. Pretty good recycling use.
