Me ... TEC160FL

I enjoy reading Ed Tings reviews

Well, if I had unlimited funds, I'd put a 4" refractor in a Cubesat ... a micro, personal 'Hubble' ... of sorts.
:rofl:

Edit: Actually, I've been wondering for quite some time now (decade-ish?) why no-one has done it yet.
You could probably fit a ~200mm scope in a '12U' cubesat.

Having tried them all over the decades, I am very satisfied with my ED150, which is used for EAA.

Does my own personal James Webb Telescope count? :rofl:

Why not ... if you have $10B to spare.

Well, I'd have mine, obviously. It'd be pretty rude to take someone elses! :P

I'm not a NB fanatic...Hubble will do me just fine.

Glib responses aside....probably my AP155 would be the "keeper" if I had to make Sophie's Choice.

Sublime 'scope....I didn't go there as I would still want to do solar imaging ;)

Is that how much it costs? Shame, I guess I can’t have one. It’s a little bit over my budget. ;)

Back in the seventies I had a 8" F/7 newt with a perfect mirror ' mounted on a crude pipe mount that lived in the back yard .

The scope performed like a Big Apo refractor ! fantastic details on the planets & double stars ~ like the pup of Sirius & Antares companion :)

Just wish I still had it :(
