With the cost of a
Losmandy G11 at over 4k im imagining i would be better off with a second hand meade 10 or 12" (both are for sale in the classifieds). Alex I did have a look at Alchemy's setup on his web site, and it looks like it can be done ( I also like the observatory but the wife's not keen on that one

). On the imaging side of things im assuming i would get better performance from a 12" meade than mounting the newt, including the fact that the whole setup is smaller. Would the fork mount of the meade need mounting to a wedge for dso' imaging.
Cheers
Scott
