I have not tried imaging with it, but I did do some research into it. It looks to me like the performance is in the same ballpark as the Orion ED80 but faster at f/6 and obviously a wider FOV.
The Orion flattener and flattener/reducer also work well with it and are what I would have bought to use with it. ES also have a flattener and the Astro-Tech one seems to be very suitable also, but they cost a bit more. Switching the dovetail mount to rings for more rigidity would probably be a good thing also.
