A TOA 130 would be a nice instrument.

One of the best reducers would have to be 0.72x Quad Telecompressor from AP that fits a 3.5" FTF. I know that CFF is testing prototypes of 0.75x reducers dedicated for their refractors. Then there are 'mass produced' Riccardi reducers, but their quality apparently varies from model to model.

Yes I agree but its narrower field of view. I did not know that about the Riccardi reducers.

Hehe. I had a TEC180FL for many years and yes they are a nice scope for sure.
