a possible cure

Hi all, I need some advice, but first a little background. I love Austin Minis, 650 singles, small air planes and ... well you get the idea. I love my 8" reflector and have had no desire to get a bigger scope.

However now I have been struck by -historic fever- which in my case is much more sever than aperture fever.

If I cannot find a cure I will be in the market for a Nasmyth Optical System, circa 1845, with an aperture of 12 - 14" and a f/l of about 13.

Would anyone know if there is anyone in Australia that could be tempted to create such a beast?

Brian
