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.

Just one thing, the 300mm f/2.8 AF IF-ED
you linked to on ebay is a screw drive AF lens and requires a Nikon
F-mount body to use the autofocus, in case you were intending to use it for non-astro use. You can of course use it as fully manual focus lens, which you almost certainly would, for Astro use on your Z-mount body.
