To answer the original question. If we are honest with ourselves. The answer is no. Astrophotography has gripped the users and manufacturers alike. More and more R&D and products on the market are for shorter focal lengths with more compact and mobile mounts to make setups more - what's the buzz word in the business communities, "agile"?
I don't think large, long focal length refractors have much of a future in the heavy light pollution world we live in. You can at least fit large SCT's and Dobs in the back of a small car to seek those more pristine sky's. The hassle of storing and moving a large long refractor and mount is objectively not worth the effort.
