I've always thought, if money was not such a significant stumbling block .. man!.. I'd love to have a 12" F11 APO in a 5.5m dome at Eagleview ...the ultimate visual telescope, both to look at and through ...imagine reclining back on a leather observing chair, tube pointing up near the zenith, peering up through the eyepiece, at a razor sharp image of Mars or Saturn, way up on a mountain top, like an old time astronomer...aaah sigh..Nirvana!
