Their 3" and 4" Field Correctors for Newtonians are a nice bit of kit , pretty expensive too see http://www.astrosysteme.at/eng/correctors.html, ie
their 2" 0.73x corrector is 873 EURO
their 3" 0.73x corrector is 1260 EURO
their 3" 0.95x corrector is 1020 EURO
their 4" 0.73x corrector is 1740 EURO
but in the all up cost of 24" equatorial newt , that would not be a minor cost component I'd say, but probably more than worth it if you plan on large format digital imaging.
Where's that "green eyed" smiley when you need it .... I wish I had the funds to embark on such an project.
Will you build the 24" as a Newt-Cassegrain type of convertable configuration ?
