You mean send a Telescope to the Kuiper Belt? I believe resources would be better spent sending a probe to one or few of the bigger Kuiper Belt objects, such as Eris and Sedna. New Horizon's "target problem" is rather specific to that probe. Pluto was its primary mission. Other bodies were considered a bonus, and the probe doesn't have enough fuel to target the bigger (known) objects. Perhaps that was a mistake; but many of these were discovered after the probe was budgeted.
