I already have a shopping list with prices. Of that $10,000, I'd be spending $2165 on kit. As for the rest, I'd have to think about how I'd use it.
$975 SkyWatcher 127mm AZ-GTi Maksutov Cassegrain - GoTo WiFi.
$545 Saxon Cielo HD eyepieces, 2.3mm, 4.5mm, 9mm, 18mm, 25mm, $109 each.
$158 Meade Short Focus Barlows 2x and 3x, $79 each.
$238 Saxon 6x30 Finderscope with Bracket (90 degree) x2, $119 each.
$249 SkyWatcher 12v PowerTank 17Ah Power Supply.
I could use the OTA from my existing scope, a SkyWatcher Heritage 130P Dobsonian, on the AZ-GTi mount, or use the 127mm Mak on the Dobsonian mount of the 130P.
I already have the 6.5mm and the 12mm of the Saxon Cielo HD eyepieces, so completing that set is something I do want to do.
The rest of the accessories list is pretty straight forwards. Better quality Barlows. Finderscopes that are more comfortable to use than the stock red dot finders, would make things a lot easier. And a decent capability power source.
