Any suggestions for this?
anything between maybe 60-80mm taking into consideration cost of scope plus maybe need of a flattener plus ? after market focuser upgrade-would be good to use a feathertouch as I can run one from my existing handbox but not essential/-I saw Stellarvue have an 80mm with a 2.5 feathertouch but is 1.5K plus post plus customs then you need a flattener etc
ARGGGGGH!

Sounds like Tak adapters may not be your thing... Shame, as I really loved the Sky 90ii that I had a few years back. Ultra portable. Dew shield fully retracts. All in all, a lovely little doublet and designed to be imaged with, natively, or extender-Q'd. Feather Touch make a neat unit that upgrades the Sky focuser, ready to be automated: http://www.optcorp.com/starlight-ins...shi-sky90.html Food for thought...
