Dome considerations aside- the scope that everyone wants to have their picture taken next to after the sky tours at Perth obs is the 12" Calver - a 100 year old lump that still works beautifully, and has a bit of history attached to it. Sounds like the sky is so bad at Sydney that maybe something nice to look at rather than through would be the go- maybe you should try and prise that 5" Unitron away from Unipol on this forum? Now that's what a real telescope looks like!
I'm surprised by the apparent level of funding available too, given the instrument under consideration - Perth Observatory could learn a lot from Sydney Obs when it comes to securing funding!
Cheers,
Andrew.
