I may rent the above-mentioned lens and try it with my HEQ5 pro to see if it does a good enough job visually before buying, and also try it on the star adventurer just to see if it will work, though I agree that the extra 1kg in the f2.8 may make a difference when travelling. I am still an unbeliever of the FTZ at that range, so we'll see and I will keep you posted in the new year. I am heading out to the Grampians with friends in Jan so I can try it out then.

Don't worry aboud it.....
Here's a Nikkor 1000mm f/11 Reflex mounted to a Nikon Z50, via Nikon FTZ adapter. It's OK / quite rigid on its own, but clamped together with a TS-Optics Lens/camera/Mount adapter it's like a ROCK. The greyish thing on the bottom is my rough and ready DIY Vixen dovetail.
