Don't worry Andy... around 1200mm FL with 10"-12" aperture, on a modest and importantly affordable mount, coupled with a lower cost small pixel but sensitive camera, may well cause the more financially secure to feel tired...but the proof is out there and easy to find, that shows such a combo does pretty damn well on small faint extended objects, especially if it is also fast ...just look at Ray's (Shiraz) images
