The new CDK14 would have to be high on the list. You can mate it with an AP reducer or perhaps even the APM reducer to get it around 2 metres.

I am imaging at 2 metres with the reducer and liking that setup.

It would be a good galaxy imaging setup. The other cheaper choice would be a GSO RC. They are now selling carbon fibre trusses and bringing out a 16 inch.

Replace the focuser with an Atlas and it may be quite good. Time will tell. Perhaps wait for Paul Haeses to show some images to see if they are good enough or not. The 10 inch seems to produce some very nice images.

Keep the TEC140 for widefield. I like my AP140 for widefield. 140mm is a good focal length for that. There is also the APM reducer which is supposed to work on a TEC140 if you want an even wider field.

Greg.
