The other big issue is aperture size on the telescope side for access to stars for the prism without a shadow on the image and ability to rotate easily. The Celestron can accommodate a very large telescope side connection and clear an APSC sensor. The SCT connection can be purchased in several sizes , a 48 mm low profile female dovetail connection comes in the box and I have had a 72mm dovetail made from a large SCT dovetail.
I am sure there are many other quality OAG systems but many of the cheaper ones are small aperture, non focussing, are not double dovetail and do not come equipped with a box full of robust dovetails and adapters.

Thanks for the input everyone  |
