I have seen one of these beasts in the flesh at Sirius Optics in Brisbane. Whilst I have not had the opportunity to try it out in the field so can't judge its optical quality, I can say that I was pretty impressed buy the build quality. Much better engineered than I expected and certainly looked as though it would make a great "ultra-portable".
One thing that always disappoints me about Skywatcher Dobs though is the lack of secondary dew heater. The 20 inch was no exception and it defies logic why a dob of this cost and open tube nature would come without one!
I have had to eat my metaphoric had since they were announced - I was sure that there would never be a 'mass produced' 20 incher! What I am waiting for is the 14" using the same design, now that will be a fantastic toy to take away on holiday.
