Hi Peter,

I had slimline OAG from Orion and it is a fine OAG but IMO one drawback with this particular design is that too many parts in it are held by setscrews (possible flex). A wiser than me friend of mine improved rigidity of the OAG very simply by replacing some of the tiny setscrews with solid screws.

Just my two cents.
