FSQ is out of my price range, so I went with the Esprit 100, albeit on its own merits also. I’ve thrown the gauntlet down at star parties to anyone with a with the 106 and never had any takers
I image only at native focal length, have motorised the focuser and have used with DSLRs (APS-C and full frame) and my current mono camera. Happy to provide images if you drop me a line.
The dew shield is supersized, so it’s largely impervious to dew, at least up here. Maybe 1 in 5 nights I’ll use a dew tape. The R&P focuser is as good as any I’ve seen, some report they need to tighten it up but I’ve never had to, mine never slipped from the factory.
