yeah, certianly the 20" RCX400. 500mm main mirror!!!! (25mm per inch)

although i dont know whats going on with them now... there has been some issues regarding the RCX scopes. but i think we should stick to scopes us average people can afford.

you don't need to spend $70,000+ to get a nice sized scope. for the amount you would pay for the ETX you could get a 300mm dobsonian telescope with an onboard computer to guide you. if you were really into looking for dim objects i think you'd be best to go for a dobsonian. the ETX125 isnt much bigger then your current tasco scope, the main differance is higher quality, a computerised mount, and portability.
