Imagine being able to buy a nice refractor with these items that takes power + USB connection. Then with mounts with nice cabling choices, plug in the refractor to it, and off you go. Reduce those cables everywhere.
Ok, it would take some interesting design and engineering work to pull off, but wouldn't it be amazing?  |
Good point Chris.
I think my CDK250 - see the ATM section - takes a big step in that direction.
