True, but I was just entertaining a thought experiment.

If I had the money to buy a RCOS that size, I would definitely be using it for purposes other than widefield imaging.

That's why I was entertaining a purpose built scope of that size, for WF imaging. Practically, though, you'd be better off modding a C11 or a Meade than building a monster scope like that.

I like widefield as well as the faint, small fuzzies. I'd probably end up with several setups...one for normal work and one for widefield!!

A fast setup would be good for nova patrolling and NEO tracking.
