All I can bring to this discussion is I'm waiting on an email from Ales over at Istar on getting an 8" f12 R30 Lens. Nearly finished a 2" Pillow Block that will take an 8" with ease.

As a kid at school I got to use the 9" f15 Oddie Refractor on Mt Stromlo every clear Wednesday night for a year....sealed my fate. That and the Astro Optical Supplies catalogue....photos of Unitron's, like Steve's 6"
