Hi George,
have you looked at the WO online shop that has free shipping? It has same price as OPT but free shipping is a big bonus. I have the WO FLT98 carbon fibre which is a beautiful scope. The standard focusser is untroubled by a canon 1000d pointing vertical.

Theres an FLT132 for sale 2nd hand on the forums for $2900... Thats what I'd be doing...

Yes I saw that, but the funds won't be available for a while (a month or two), if that is still up then...

Out of your list, if I had the money to spend right now, this is how I'd have it ordered...
1 - FLT132
2 - AT 111 F/7 triplet
3 - AT106/FLT110 ~ The FLT110 might have a slight edge here depending on what focuser is on the AT106... If its got the 2.5" FT, then the AT106 is a winner, if not, then the FLT... It would also depend on what FLT110 is available these days... Earlier on, there was two versions, one with a TEC lens, the other with a TMB designed lens.. From what I read online the TEC model displayed much better correction, however this was some time ago...

It's interesting how on the astronomics website, they had the AT106 priced higher than the AT111 before discounted... Also the ATs are rack and pinion, that should throw me off.

If you want wide field spend the extra few hundred dollars and get a Tak FSQ106
There was one on Astromart (now gone) earlier this week for $3000 US with everything you would need inc 1.6x extender in a scopeguard case.
For similar money you could also buy a 2nd hand Tak Epsilon 160 or 180 on Astromart, these are astrographs, but they dont come up as often as the FSQ's

Yes I've been surfing astromart, fingers crossed theres something up when the $$$ arrives.
