I found something suitable ...

Bob like you I have many happy memories of using the Oddie, though IMHO I now have something better - and it’s portable

Wavy..
Your Santel Maksutov of over 9 inches is going to be a hard act to follow...in that under 10 category of a dream scope..
I dont see how even a great 6" triplet could touch it visually ..very high strehls indeed!!
