Yikes! Hmmm - well that's not going to work is it!

Assuming you dont want to be at F10, then that also means a fair sized aperture.
Now we are talking big scope....and big mount....assuming you don't want it wobbling all about the place.
So. Careful what you wish for...it could lead to aperture fever.
Aaaaahgghhh - thanks anyway Peter - it's going to hard to get tthat past SWMBO though
