Had a quick look at Neil English's site. The iStar is a long scope. Would be ok for visual but tricky for imaging.
By the way, the mount he's using in his website pictures:

is a Skywatcher SkyTee 2. I had one for a while and it is very, very sturdy (with a good tripod). Don't underestimate the mount that would be required for this scope!
