I must say - I am tempted to go larger than a 130mm APO - but mostly likely that will be in 2 years when the kids have finally finished (private) high school; then I will be more finanical - hopefully. So my next telescope is really to ease me into the world of apos.
I have never looked through an APO - so I am a virgin in that respect - not sure what I expect to see versus my C9.25, which is in pretty tip-top condition. Its just that I've outgrown my MAK and think an APO is completely missing from my line up of astronomy tools!
I am unsure whether to go a really high-end smaller apo - then sell it and buy a bigger high-end apo once I'm in the black / or simply start with an mid range apo then upgrade once my mortgage is down a bit.
The next stage for me will be upgrade mount, cameras and OTAs - likely a major financial event; the moment this hobby is about learning and enjoying astronomy as a long term passion!
Poita - thanks for the link - yes it's all the gear I lust for!
