I am swaying towards the TV85 but I'm not in a huge rush at the moment, probably keep my eye on the IIS Classifieds mostly.

I had looked at the Borgs, I got the impression that they are pushed more towards AP than visual use.

I did have a SW ED100 until a few weeks back. It wasn't a scope that I'd taken out more than a hand full of occasions in 18 months. Very nice to use but it is too big for my alt/az mount which then meant that I'd be setting up a HEQ5.

Still have some more reading to see whether it is worth while going fluorite or just good general correction. I am thinking I may be better going with a good doublet over a triplet for both weight and quicker cool down. Not worrying about AP so absolutely perfect colour correction is probably not as important.
