I got to spend some time at a little resort in New Mexico where they rent you huge telescopes at night and have an astronomy library available all night long for you. It was great! My family rented a 30 foot telescope that you needed a huge ladder to use. M-51 was by far the coolest thing that we saw on that trip.
