The criteria is; a realistic dream scope/ect( that sounds contradictory) what I mean is something you can see yourself purchasing when all of life's essentials are bought and paid for.
So that should open up the options that may be available to us all, clear skies.
I've got two dream scopes one of which I have been lucky enough to already have purchased - Televue NP127is which is stunning visually especially with a 21mm ethos - WOW
My other dream scope would have to be a big dob (25in or bigger) running servo cat and the argo navis - I was lucky enough to have a look through a few at the SPSP but I reckon I'll have to save up for a lot of years for one of these babies
Having nailed the large dob side of things, I am also hankering after a large top line refractor.... Perhaps a 6 inch Takahashi...
....on a top of the range mount in a proper domed observatory somewhere not too far from home but far enough to be dark with a fridge full of beer and a cabinet full of single malt whiskies, with a cheery wife bringing me my pipe and slippers on cue with a smile and a wink....
I'd like a 20+ inch corrected Dall-Kirkham imaging scope once I have the time to set up a permanent obsy somewhere a lot darker than the inner suburbs of Brisbane.
My dream telescope is relatively inconsequential... Takahashi FSQ-106N... and it is right here beside me.
The scope I dreamed of owning for years, when I finally got it, was truly perfect, but in the end didn't fit my imaging needs well enough, so got the 106N, which, as fate had it, is one of the first made and has sublime optics, easily equal the FCT
Wow there's some great dream gear, the observatory dome is a dream come true for me, so , off to bed sweet dreams, I mean what else would you do in bed anyway? Waiting to here of some more dreams that may come true, clear skies.

I got my dream telescope recently. An FSQ106. Only waited 7 years.

LOL Rod, that's my dream too!
Just swap the pipe for Cuban cigars.
All I need now is the dome.
