Both are insane. APM should maybe concentrate on getting the 20mm 100° eyepiece delivered that I ordered more than 6 months ago rather than telescopes that 99.999% of the population can only drool over. Sorry for the highjack, just a bit cranky with APM at the moment.

I’d love to see a side by side image comparison with a 20” CDK ($65k) vs 20” reflector ($10k)

I think the real question is can Strongmanmike buy it! After all it deserves a good site that happens to be close to Canberra/Sydney/Melbourne...

Loved to see the 6” APQ and FCT are downgraded to the role of a guidescope next to the Mak

I have thought about going big...its still cheaper than many sports cars but I think it would just be hard work to get out what you paid for ... The joy I find is getting the most from my equipment and not wanting better and better
