Which star tracker to buy?

[pluto (Hugh)]

Just noticed Opt has the iOptron SkyTracker on sale for $299US or $399US with a tripod and ball head.

Pretty good deal though obviously unsuitable if you really want to do long (800mm!) work on it.

EDIT: just read your comment about not buying iOptron online, feel free to disregard! Though if it wasn't specifically the SkyTracker I personally wouldn't be too worried. I never had any problems with mine.

Just bought the vixen polarie after exhaustive googling, was initially going to get an ioptron but changed my view. Will post results soon!
