Peter,
Do many telescope shop owners value-add by example running imaging courses at a modest cost? Upskilling your audience must help your future sales? For example I'd be loathe to buy any S-BIG before I was convinced I was good enough to get value out of it. See my catch-22?
Equally when I was skilled enough I'd have to work which version best suits my sky targets, my OTAs and my skies within my budget. Again advice hear is valauable and could help future sales. You could role that into a course.
Example I have a C9.25 on a Vixen Atlux on Losmandy Dovetails. I would love to image planetary nebulae - which S-BIG would I be best to start with and why? If I where to buy a second - which should I graduated to next and why? Thirdly if I request train me to use these cameras well - how much time (3-4 nights viewing for several hours) and cost (e.g. $400 for a course) would it involve if you ran it as a class on your set-up equipment rather than mine to eliminate variables?
Thanks,
Matthew
