Now if Roland Christen did one that would be a different story. Yuri does not do imaging and it shows in the compromise style design where the lenses are optimised for green. You want true APO for imaging.
His scopes are great but not in the same league as AstroPhysics and for the money they should be.
A 300mm APO would be completely unwieldy. APM used to sell a folded APO that was 9 inch aperture.

I think I finally got the true APO for imaging..a AP 130GTX..although I haven't used it yet. I sacrificed (sold) the FSQ-106ED to get this scope and I decided to keep my TEC 160FL for visual. The APOMAX 130 f/12 was an impulse buy and I haven't the heart to let it go, yes stupid I know. If I can't use what I currently have there is no point wanting for bigger.
When I saw Yuri showing off the lenses for the 300mm on FB I just wondered in my mind whom the customers would be for these scopes and then thought what are peoples financial limit in regards to this hobby.
Sometimes when driving to work I hear the ad on the radio for the Maserati SUV that has a price tag of $149K AUS...to me this would be a waste of $$$'s but to someone else it would be different.
Post note: Xelasnave goes an mentions Ferrari...now I see them everywhere. But this is Melbourne.
