But more realistic would be one of those 32" RCOS jobbies stuck on a mountain in the Atacama desert....300 clear nights a year you say Mike...Noice one.
You'd need a BIG CCD for the 32" too though or else you would be limited to capturing postage stamp size images oh and a jet to fly you to the desert, you wouldn't wanna actually live there
