No second hand for me, and no waiting to unknown model production time if they are planning for it, so i try to see what is almost available now within 2-4 months, i wish if i went with Stellarvue SVX70T when it was available back in time, but things happens, it is gone, and i have to move on.
At the end i am looking for this scope only to use either Ha filter or Lum, and sounds Ha isn't a problem at all, any scope can do the job, but with Lum because it covers all visible wavelength, then it should be well corrected scope, so i hope to find that well corrected scope at range 280mm up to 320mm if possible, and hopefully it won't cause like blue halo or CA whatever you call it with lum filter in the final results.
Many tried to give me options like Redcat at 250mm or 70mm something at 360mm, i know them long time ago, if i need them then i won't ask, but not interested in both, i asked if i can try using something like 0.7x or at least 0.65x reducer with 70mm triplet scope, almost all said i will risk for incompatibility then, so either i didn't give them any chance or they didn't give me any possibilities.
