With a focal length of 4765mm your eyepieces will be restricted to 26mm lowest power to 14mm high power.The widest field of view with this scope is.42 degrees not enough to take in most large objects. Would still love to have one in a permanent observatory.

Why will you be "restricted" to 26mm?

FWIW, I've observed many hundreds of DSOs using a 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain with a focal length of 6477 mm and a maximum true field of view of only 0.42 degree.
