It's going to be a long focal length and the mount is everything.
Thank you Paul. When I first started thinking about such an investment...well one day you are dreaming about one to figuring out where to put it..mmm and yet there are. Iarger scopes still ..I only last night found on Bintel scopes up to $90 K so $8k is not so bad ...I don't suppose the ZWO 1600 mono would cut it.
Plus a. EQ8 and a shed..gets away..I am going to need to sell some paintings..mmm five should do it...when they sell I will get it.
