If money was no object and you had to organise an astrophotography package that could fit in your car, what equipment would you choose and why?

Hmm. I guess a newtonian on a goto mount. A good CCD camera. A triplet APO for guidescope and another CCD for autoguiding. I'm not a full bottle on Astrophotography yet so as far as specific equipment goes, I wouldn't know.

A fast f ratio telescope. An Astro Physics or Losmandy mount. Top of the line CCD camera with built in filter wheel and an STV. APO of guidescope, a bunch of Naglers and some Denkmeier bino viewers. Of course it goes without saying that I would want all the filters. HA, SII and OIII.

Pretty much what C.M.T said, but also a long focal length scope for those smaller objects such as the Ring Neb etc.
