Hubble in a camera?

"Absolutely monstrous" , how else can you describe this picture!

As somebody pointed out " I guess this is the type of lens that you could shoot a flying mosquito from a thousand feet and tell if its a male or female". From what I learnt the longer ones are possibly 600 mm lens which can achieve a magnification of 144x. They are used in wildlife photography, where you can shoot the wildlife at a distance without disturbing them. You need these man-made beasts to capture the beasts of nature. You could buy yourself a brand new Accord by selling the stuffs she has strapped around.
