C'mon guys, here's telescope that will show you that Moon's Straight Wall isn't so straight, will reveal intricate craterlets inside Plato, show the Alpine Valley cleanly, expose vast amount of detail inside Tycho as well as almost too much inside Clavius!
Pics really don't do it justice as I have to clobber them into allowable 200kb, but eyepiece view will show the Moon as incredibly smooth dusty world, with "creaminess" that needs to be seen to be believed. This scope is planetary tour de force, and I'd easily put it against any of the big names visually and especially for imaging. At the same time it will happily seat on EQ-6 and collect many more photons than any of the smaller (but vastly more expensive) scopes with pedigree.
