Hi George,
A nearby club had a 31" f/7 Newtonian scope that was a beauty. The views of globulars were spectacular. Had to use a scissors jack to access the eyepiece 20 ft in the air.
I like your thinking though. I wonder how much one of those would cost (if you have to ask, you can't afford it.)
Hear Hubble is approaching End of Life & the disposal costs would be considerable, not to mention the liability if the crashes on someone
.
Even a 17-20" would work in this case.
