What scope..if you could

[Ukastronomer (Jeremy)]

I actually have all the gear I need and want

I often look through magazines and think what would I like and can think of nothing

2nd'd. Every evening brings some issue or tragedy that precludes anything astro:

Clouds, neighbours' backyard lit like a stadium, full moon, kids fighting, "family time" demands, something broken that needs attention, work overtime.

Two months ago I finally paid off my dream kit - an everyday AZEQ6. I've taken it out once... Nope - time is my wish.

I will be happy with those I have really but I would like an eight inch RASA.. which I will get when I get the CUBE up here...three is more than enough and I am content with what they will produce...there is little point going bigger or better...my strength limits the size and my ability means I need not get stuff that I can not get their advantage...actually I would like a dragon fly set up but what a lot of work.

Same here.
My limited skills, mean that a lot of the more advanced gear I read of members using, I'd not be able to use to anywhere near its full capability.
My mobility issues make moving larger scopes an impossibility.

For me, there's a scope kit, a tripod and mount, and 2 OTAs I'd love to have.
Scope kit is the SkyWatcher Virtuoso Mak Cass 90mm, specifically for its tracking tabletop Dobsonian mount. My existing 130mm collapsible Newt will work fine on it.
The stand alone tripod and mount is the SkyWatcher Mini AZGTi for its WiFi control and its 5Kg payload
The OTAs are a 127mm Mak Cass, and a 150mm f5 solid tube Newt. OTAs with reasonable capability, and a manageable physical size and weight.

My humble choice is a Carl Zambuto 11'' mirror of F/7 .
Still be portable .
That would perform to many big top apro refractors visual .

A long f/ratio mirror is a fine instrument indeed
