No one scope will do it all... And I hate to disappoint, but I have it on good authority that I will be winning the lotto on Sunday...
What will **I** do?... well.. Money, being no object..
Long focal length setup:
14.25" RCOS, Fitted with an SBIG STX16803, an 8 Position 50mm square filter wheel with L, R, G, B, Ha, SII, OIII and NII filters, Adaptive optics etc.. All the bells and whistles..
Medium focal length setup.
TMB/LZOS 152 F/8 Triplet APO, FLI PL11002M/FLI 2-7 CFW Fully loaded with the same filters as above, minus the NII filter.
Wide field setup.
TMB/LOMO 80mm F/6 Triplet APO, SBIG ST8300/FLI 2-7 CFW, same filters again...
All this, riding atop an Astro-Physics AP3600GTO mount, housed in a 3.8m fully automated dome observatory, minimum 500km from the nearest moderately populated area, preferably at or over 800m ASL...
A little homestead next to it....
Oh to dream..
