Apologies. Totally missed this post, but yes! There is a hole in the market for such an instrument.

Problem might be that the venerable Celestron 14 might be a commercial thorn in the side of your plans. Since Don Parker started using one with photographic
film last century (bugger... I must be old) they have produced remarkable results.

In terms of bang for buck, how would your design, on paper at least, improve on them? (e.g theoretical resolution/contrast)
