Any plans for a longer FL scope?

We had some clear weather two weekends ago, it was dark with no wind and the stars just didn't twinkle, almost all the way down to the horizon! I know this is not a reliable measure of seeing, but for a guy carrying a we drop of Lagavulin, wandering around his very own 100acre sub alpine location with his son, looking up at such a sight and identifying stars below Mag 6, I felt a glimmer of hope that the conditions might indeed be good
So I guess we all have to stay tuned until I get a telescope on site and have done some visual sessions at least, before singing the full rendition of Nessun Dorma!...and I will!
