OK after some communication and help from peter reed, John Bambury and Alax as well as the good forum members I have decided on a 18 inch F4.5 low-rider in compact form. It will look like SDM number 028 on the SDM scope page.
Now the low rider telescope is a interesting way to take a Tall ,fast scope and keep your feet on the ground. For the 18" I believe the secondary is a flat 3"mirror turned to 30 degrees. Here is a web site if you have not heard of a low rider before.
