I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

My wife saw one much larger, in South Texas at a wildlife refuge where we were working. It was a Witch Moth, with a wingspread of at least 6 inches; I swear the wings were nearly as big as my hands. It flapped along right in front of me for several seconds.
