Not the TSA for me. That is primarily a visual scope. Both the Tak FSQs would do nicely for me since I only have one of them!! And then something really fast like a Hyperstar but I would want an engineer astronomer on hand (Hi Greg Parker!!) to make sure it performed to the book.

Ooohhh and then... Deitmar Haager's folded 9 inch TMB refractor. And after that an array of three 12 inch Ritchey Chretiens in parallel on a single mount, since f8 is so slow. Three cameras as well, of course. That would perform like a fast sytem but at long fl..

And why? Well, in imaging I want flat field, high resolution, even illumination and fast fast faster focal ratio!

Not difficult, am I?

Thats everything I want in a dream scope, couldnt have said it better myself :)

Something like a C14 with faststar would be interesting, but to be realistic I would probably go for the MN190.... flat without the faff.

What are peoples' thoughts on the new Skywatcher 100m F/5 5-element APO (Petzval-like flat field system) that ticks a large number of boxes! Not light at 7 kg.

Wait & see I guess. Not light but it should be pretty short which makes up for it. My only concern would be it's collimation, my understanding of the petzval design is that it can be tricky to manufacture and get it right.
