20 inches might just about do it for me, I think.
I wonder if Bintel would sell this at 10% off?!?!

If you are going to be serious about your Astrophotography, the price of the 20" and the Mount actually sound good.
But it is in American Dollars

FWIW. Baz, a WAACer, is buying one of these 20" monsters. He's had his on order for a while now. Just waiting for it to hit the shore & get assembled etc etc..... Will be interesting to see it in the flesh, so to speak.  ..  L.

To me these would be perfect for a remote lab set-up where you could pay per view / capture time, post you capture requirements and time slot, pay and get it FTP'd back to you.
