Gee that Nikon lens is good but also very pricey- one I saw on ebay was AUD$6,600 or so.

Thanks Greg! It’s not an inexpensive lens for sure but considering it’s a 143mm fluorite apo with a built in reducer it’s used price compares well to the current prices of FSQ106 with reducer (if you can even get one!) or other faster refractors. Of course you have to deal with external lens focusing and the lens mount but there are some good solutions for this. Cheers, Mat
