I have been playing with SGP over the last few nights, and plonking the gear in front of the garage any night that looks clear'ish to get some hands on. I am thinking I can get over the learning curve, but it would be nice to have a few of the things that APT does really well in there. To be honest, APT does plate solving and centering targets better, if for no other reason that when you want to refine pointing in SGP you get no feedback about where you have clicked on the solved image.
BUT, and it is a big one, auto focus seems to be reliable and that is a huge selling point for the SCT. You can run it over and over again and it lands consitently within a handful of steps each time, it just takes a bit of tweaking to get it working right due to the SCT peculiarities.
