Depends on how “serious” you want it to be...
Some folk in here like to bash WO but I have a couple of their scopes and know others with some across the aperture range and everyone is happy. They’re not as cheap as some, but generally well made and live up to the price tag. I’ve recently been imaging with the Z61 and the aberrations in the corner of a full frame are minor.
Of course, for any company there’s always one that slips through the QA net, or so it seems. You wouldn’t think it should happen on the premium brands, but I’ve heard too many horror stories of scopes out of my price range.
If you wanted to limit yourself to APS-C, the SW Esprit 80mm should perform well. I have the 100 but it weighs 7kg plus rings, guide scope, etc.
A WO GT81 plus reducer should perform well. Disclaimer: your determination of well may differ from mine!
