Probably a C9.25, I reckon. Got the refractor now for widefield portraits, now for the up close and personals.

Ply to line the observatory so I can get the power connected.
steel to build the pier extension.
Sink, fridge, hammock, microwave and bathroom so I never have to go back into the house again.

QHY8 is top on my list at the moment, would like a newer SBIG to replace my ST7 but that's out of my budget for a while I think.
Other than that, continue saving for a Paramount ME or similar, for when my LX200 packs it in.

I am working on my eyepiece line up at the moment.
Will probably sell my 20T5 in favour of a 21 Ethos, depending on what the cost of the Ethos will be.
I want to get to 2X Powermate to boost high power work if the seeing will ever improve!

I think keeping an ordinary "Mistress" would be cheaper or you!

Either another DSLR or a HEQ5Pro.
Definitely need the mount, but another camera would come in mighty handy too.
