Yes, a robustly constructed 16" F3.6 corrected Newtonian with CF tube would still be my (still reasonably realistic) dream imaging scope

The Starfire would then be my planetary imaging scope...on it's own mount...under its own dome...next to the dome with the 16" in it.. ...reasonably realistic huh?...
