The Opteka branded version of the Samyang come with a 2x teleconvertor, for those occasions when 1300mm is just, well, too short...
£247.51 inc. P+p

That makes it f/32 at the long end ??? :

Just they aren't lenses but mirrors... AFAIK the largest lens telescopes are still the Yerkes, Lick and Paris ones, although I'm sure they won't stand your actual IQ requirements. Also minimum focusing distance could be an issue... and still they lack aperture control and AF.
The Swedish solar telescope in Canary Islands has a very different design compared to telephoto lens.
And, BTW, many large telescopes have different 'focus' positions that allows them to change focal length to allow for different types of instruments, for example IIRC high resolution spectrography requires very long focal lengths. Something alike very big extenders...

For doing actual imagery, the 600+2x or 800+1.4x is probably a superior system - better optics, better coatings, IS. If you really need a lot of resolving power, telescopes are where it's at. Mine cost $2,400 used and is 2,800mm and f/10 or 2,000mm and f/7.

True true, but the restraining order and the electronic ankle bracelet I wear makes the sneaker zoom hard to utilize properly.

Perhaps, although the 1200 is a stop faster than the 600+2x. As for telescopes - I've no doubt you're right (and in this context they'd be the cheaper option), but I've used my 500L for planetary imaging because I don't have the spare money (or inclination) to buy a whole extra piece of kit for that. The results will be nowhere near as good as a dedicated system, but they made me happy
Hopefully the 1200 II will be handholdable!

True, but as mentioned in the review, it's not all that great optically until f/8.

I looked at it backwards. I wanted some serious resolving power, and even the smallest Canon supertele was just way too expensive. So I bought a much cheaper but far superior telescope instead, and gave up IS, bokeh, and AF for shear optical power. Saved over $5,000 too.
