So far my skies are still pretty decent, but they get a little worse
every year.

I'll do that. Extra speed usually means wider field of view. That is
not necessarily important to me. I like close up shots of stuff a lot.
That's one reason why my most used instrment is a 12" SCT. 

The Borg 100mm ED has also been recommended to me. Anyone shoot with
that, or a similiar instrument? If so, I'd like to hear any comments
you might have.

Thanks,
Alan
