- unfortunately that's all it will ever be: the Finance Dept is not even remotely interested; in fact incredulous laughter was the only sound from that direction...
Regarding Greg's query: I am not sure what you are looking for Greg: visual or photographic? You don't need a big scope for photographic though.
You say the FS 102 was way too dim for a visual scope, and the FSQ106 not satisfying visually. I have the TSA 102 and love it (although the 120 would be nice...)- so I would think you should be looking for at least 130-150mm. The new Skywatcher 150ED should be a very nice visual scope, but I am guessing not so hot as an imager.
If you want guaranteed high end for visual and have a heavy wallet, I would be looking at the AP130 in the classies, a TEK 140, a Stellarvue 130T or 150T (although that is a BIG jump in price from the 130), or a Tak TOA 130 or 150. All the big boys will need appropriate big and heavy mounts of course!
Stellarvue have a "refurbished" carbon fibre 130T for sale at the moment for a nice price:
