Well sometime I basically fall on the keyboard. Although I wouldn't mind a 400/2 if such a monster existed.
Found one!

I saw that a while back and that is why I want one but of the quality of the A* 400/2.8. I guess I need to win the lottery and then see if I can get a special order custom lens made.

Lol. Or just use a larger format lens on a high quality custom speed booster…

Considering the open aperture size of the A* 400/2.8 that might be a harder hill to climb. However going beyond the 400/2.8 some nice reflecting telescopes start becoming a very good viable option, an 8" to 12" scope of low magnification aren't crazy expensive and can be had new.
