Hi,
Looking to rationalise my astro/photo gear and have decided I'd like a 4" refractor as my main scope (visual only). At this stage I want to see what's out there as I'd have to sell a few things to raise funds (including my current Megrez 90).
My criteria are:
F-ratio between 6 and 8 (the 100ED f/9 is a good scope but is too long for my liking)
No top-quality scopes (e.g. Tak, TeleVue) as I can't afford them http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/Image1.gif
No FPL-51 doublets (the Megrez is a FPL-53 doublet and I'd like to maintain or improve on its level of colour correction).
My ideal scope would be something like a Stellarvue SV105, or the Sharpstar/AT106 that was sold here recently.
If you have anything you might sell, please send me a PM.
Thanks
Morton
