You'll be seeing limited most nights anyway, and although a 16" alluna is definitely something to aspire too, there are plenty of scopes that will perform as well without the big bucks. And don't forget Peter has a lifetime of processing and tuning experience that lets him extract the potential from the instrument as well. Valentino Rossi, Toby Price, or whoever your two wheeled idol might be didn't just step onto a motoGP bike or go and win the Paris Dakar straight up!
Do both. Here's my solution - my girls are helping me restore this old R80g/s, which will be an exact replica of Gaston Rahier's 1985 Paris Dakar winning bike. Then we're going to load it up with tripods, trackers, DSLRS and make the most of the dark skies out in the desert. For the price of the Alluna you could do this, and also have an automated, high-quality setup running back at home while you enjoy the bike...
Rubber side down!
Andrew.
