Smaller R/C scopes, such as a 12.5 inch runs around $21,500 for the OTA only.
A 16 inch OTA runs $43,000.
Mounts, such as the Paramount ME to drive these smaller scopes runs about $14,000.
A good CCD camera for imaging, which is why you bought an R/C to begin with will run you another $15,000.
True research grade scopes don't come cheap.

Also, can you see any exoplanets around nearby stars with this telescope?
rumour has it, this is now being re-assembled in hawaii for use
