This is my wish list. I am planning on getting most of this during the next construction boom.
Soooo.
- 20" Meade 400RCX on Max mount for doing planetary imaging. This thing has auto collimation, internal dew heaters, moving secondary, cooling (but will need peltiers), quite sharp optics and heaps of light for imaging at hi res. It will make the C14 look like a bucket of bolts.
- 17" CDK from planewave with STX and filter wheel on top of a PME or Robotic unit. That will be my DSO unit down at my country house.
Nothing else needed, just those things. I am a firm believer that the SCT is the better imaging telescope for planetary imaging over nearly every other unit. In good seeing it produces superb images.
The planewave scope has reportedly the flatest field getting around and is very sharp. Times for delivery are better than RCOS.
Nice to think about the future, now back to work.
