Thoughts about the carbon fibre GS-600 f/4 OTA

I'm interested to hear if anyone has an opinion on this particular scope. I'm looking to break into astrophotography on a bit of a budget, with a heavier investment into a mount (possibly EQ6-R at this stage). I'd like to start with a decent scope for the moment which I'll trade up in future.

careful when buying one, make sure that it comes in to focus with a camera. I know they advertise it as an astrograph and they SHOULD come in to focus but I bought one several months ago that had the wrong focal length mirror installed that will not focus with a camera. I have since returned the ota for a full refund. I'm sure not all are like this but just make sure you get it checked before paying for it.
