Thanks Andrew.
The quest for the ideal scope is somewhat of an ongoing pursuit.
The TEC180 is close to the top, the BRC is great but as Mike points out the star shapes sometimes aren't so good. If I were game I'd get the spider changed over to something more suitable for astrophotography. ASA had the same problem with theirs and went to a double spider arrangement. S shaped spiders also don't give diffraction spikes.
The Paramount will be fun to use and a new learning curve.
Greg.
