The merit function becomes compelling (for the Eagle V) for instruments around the 0.8m aperture mark.
Arguably, pie in the sky for now, but I think it is fair to say that it isn't completely the stuff of fantasy.

Segue- nostalgia
Going through some old stuff in the shed a few days ago, I came across my old copy of David Malin's seminal work 'colour of the stars'
I was mildly amused to note that his best images are routinely surpassed by amateurs with modern equipment today.

I expect the trend going forward will be consistent with the past.
