Prior to the AP 92mm Stowaway all roads led to the Takahashi FSQ85...in fact, given the waitlist at Astro-Physics, practically that may still be the case.
The AP is magical, but, how good is the little Taka?
Given the USA total solar eclipse of 2017 was probably the most photographed solar eclipse *ever* it was an image taken with Baby-Q Takahashi that Royal Greenwich Observatory gave a gong to, from around 4500 entrants across the globe (admittedly, only a portion were eclipse images and the 92mm Stowaway didn't exist then ).
Sure, neither ‘scope is inexpensive. Nor are S-class Benz’s...but the build quality and engineering in both is unsurpassed.
