[APML] Refractor recommendation



Title: Refractor recommendation

Hi All,

Im hoping to upgrade soon to a quality AP refractor.  I have to do these things incrementally (to maintain marital bliss) but I think I can swing around 1250.00 or so.  Im planning to go with an OTA that I can mount to my 10 LX200/Superwedge until I can also swing an equatorial mount.

A friend recommended that I try and pick up a used TeleVue 85 on Astromart.  If I do find an 85, will I also need a field flattener or some other accessory to optimize the optics for AP?  Anyone have other refractor recommendations for my limited budget???

I appreciate any guidance you can give me,

Dave
