I've always been a reflector kind of guy, but now I'm thinking about getting a grab n go refractor, that might travel in a compact carry-on case. No photographic needs, just compact compact compact.
The things is though fellows, that 80mm just doesn't get me excited. Wide field views, sure, but I just think you need some aperture.
I saw there were some Borgs that were 100mm and broke down into 3 pieces. That's the kind of thing I'm wondering: what other refractors do that trick?
Is there something in the 90-100mm range that can break down into small managable/packable pieces?
My preference would be for a decent achromat or perhaps ED if the price is right... basically thinking $900 or less for a complete portable setup.... how would you solve that particular matrix of requirements? (you know you want to!)
ok, GO!
Tom.
