My "declining years" telescope for performance and portability will definitely be the original Genesis 4" f5. (Serial 1007)
I haven't found anything to beat it over years.
Ken according to my research the TV Genisis 4" f5 is in fact an achro doublet design, albeit with a rear Petzval corrector. Yes it may have nice glass up front but it will still have colour issues. I have been using a Bresser 152mm f5 with a Petzval corrector in the rear, for narrowband imaging but it is unsuitable for broadband.
