Great image again, Greg. Needs more light....10-20" apo??!!!!

Now all you need is about $250-500K for the lens and you'll be set

Even so....10" f/7 = 70"....20" f/7 = 140" (11' 8" long)....not so long

I see them permanently setup in an observatory at your dark sky site

A 10" f/12-15 apo would be a cracker....best colour correction around, only the FoV would be restricted somewhat.
