Which refractor?

I have an RC8 - with which I am very happy. I use my SBIG ST8300M with it - mated to a FW8-STL filter wheel - a heavy combination.

All is good. But...

I am tempted by a wider field of view - my previous scope was a fast f4 Meade SN 8 inch. It was good and wide.

So I'm thinking (only thinking at this stage) of a refractor and am open to suggestions.

The Tak FSQ look very nice - and mighty pricey.

Televue have the 60is which should give a good field with my camera.

Louie's new little AT65EDQ has a very attractive price tag.

I would be happy to match my Canon 70-200mm L series lens to the camera but there is no adapter that I am aware of that fits my filterwheel - only Nikon.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Pete
