Jim,
 
Yes I have the fever too.  I am making a 20" dob this year, and most of the students taking our class are making larger scopes too.  One student is planning on making a 20" classical Cassegrain scope.  This is going to be an exciting telescope making class this year.  I can hardly wait for our first class session on Mar 27th.

ok, ive caught aperture fever really bad
i wake up sweaty and nervous during the full moon
so: ive decided to go for the extra 5" and get a 25" F5 BIG dob
that means my little 20" starmaster has to go...........
$ 8900 for the whole deal. full goto and track with sky commander and tracker. all the upgrades - feathertouch focuser, transport handles, secondary dew controller,  premium figured pegasus mirror etc.
also have a dedicated trailer for $900 with the starmaster logo.
im posting here because anyone interested would have an easy time checking out this scope.  im in Hurricane UT right next to St George.  
aperture fever is a treacherous disease and can be caught by ANYONE out late at night.
call me if you have any symptoms.
jimboooooooooooooo
