Best Astrograph telescope within reason

[Catanonia]

As you may be aware, I am selling my beloved Skywatcher ED120 black to get a faster scope.

Obviously current top of the list is the Skywatcher MN190 astrograph and with a great price of sub £1000.

But are there any others I should be looking at under £2500 ????

Thanks

Maybe have a look at Boren and Simon's PowerNewt. Don't think they have sold any in the UK tho?

Cheers

If I was spending that sort of cash id be looking at something like this Hiper APO 80 Refractor Telescope - Telescopes UK: Telescopes & Telescope Accessories in your only London shop

or this APM TMB 107 mm F6.5 Astrograph - Telescopes UK: Telescopes & Telescope Accessories in your only London shop

Lots of QA issues on TMB these days, very sad to say...

The Mn190 would leave you some dosh for a change of focal length so what about a camera lens or mini-Borg astrograph for exciting wide field imaging?

Not tempted by the Baby Q? Bit over budget, I know. Or a second hand FSQ106 might just come...

The Takahashi FSQ-85ED is US$ 3100 + taxes (import it, you'll get ripped off buying it over here).

The FSQ-106EDXIII will run you up to US$ 4400 + taxes.
