All up I reckon $229k USD for the finished product.. add another 30k for a mount to carry it... 12" F/6.75 ~2060mm FL with a 4" flat field.. Dunno about you but that causes a puddle in my pants..

Yes quite affordable Alex but a custom Flourite 12" native F5 Petzval design with 4" focuser ala the FSQ would be better, wonder who you'd get to make it?...buuut one to keep up your sleeve for Lotto
