This is a really well made little scope. I've only used it as a guider but with a 10:1 focuser, 70mm ED optics and F6.2 giving a Focal Lenght of 430mm it would make an excellent wide fielder as well.
The integrated L bracket slips into a standard vixen grip but is removable if you prefer rings. The dew shield is retractable to reduce the lenght so it fits nicely into the custom travel case.
Comes with a 2" to 1.25" adapter, a high quality WO case and a custom made Bahtinov mask which was purposely made too big to fit down the front tube and hit the lens. I use a piece of tape to hang it off the end of the scope.
Couple it with this guide camera (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=53618) setup plus an extension tube, and your guiding.
Almost new and it looks it .... $475 + postage.
I believe these scopes were $675 at Myastroshop but I don't see them listed at this time.
