I would never win the lottery as I never play. I take my money and invest in stocks, bonds, cd's, etc....
It may not be as cool as the thought of winning the lottery. But I have much more than most lottery players do.
And my current eye pieces are:
Tele Vue Panoptic 35mm
Tele Vue Nagler Type 4 22mm
Tele Vue Plossl 20mm
Tele Vue Radian 14mm
Tele Vue Radian 8mm
Pentax XW 5mm
Tele Vue Nagler T6 3.5mm
Tele Vue Nagler T6 2.5mm
Well, I guess we all can't be so perfect.

How about a Zeiss/Televue crossover 25'' Maksutov on a lightweight but strong titanium GEM with hydraulic motors and a little car engine on the bottom, ABS, airbags, integrated television, computer, ultra-enhanced professional-grade ccd, 60000000+ object database, and a miniature nuclear reactor to power the lot up?
That must be one *bleep* of a lottery purse!!!!

yeah, but there's so many wal-mart's. they reproduce like rabbits....
As do my shares in Wal-Mart. See, Wal-Mart can be GOOD for this hobby, as the more my shares multiply, the more things I can buy

Anyone want to catch the Venus transit at 75,000 feet over the Atlantic?

First thing I'd buy would be an RC32-190F. A complete set of Naglers and complete set of Pentax lens for the optical impaired (good eye relief)
I like your style! Having used the RC20 at Kitt Peak recently, I would have to second this idea big time.
I'd also add a Denk II, the full line of Panoptics and a couple of Naglers.

Reading all your reply, I feel like I indeed have won a lottery.
I was fortunate to get myself a nice collection of eyepieces.
For my 10" LX200 I use a small Nagler line such as:
9mm Nagler1
12mm Nagler T2 (The whale)
16mm Nagler T2
20mm Nagler T2 (The grenade)
40mm Televue Widefield (The Beercan)
And recently I added for the Tak Sky 90 a Nagler Zoom 3-6mm
The Meade has a 2" everbrigte mirror and the Takahashi uses the 2" Maxbrigthe to accommodate the TAK extender Q
Do you think it is possible to have already a dream combination together??
I think I have!

In a few years you could probably get a good deal on Hubble.
But must have your own means of transporting it........

Although you will waste a lot of time explaining it's not on a GEM nor a dob mount, nor any mount of any kind at all. Yet it moves so smoothly.

I know someone who has the 30mm Leitz. It is a fantastic eyepiece. I was not able to do a comparison with the 31mm Nagler but the eye relief of the Leitz was much more comfortable.
