This would give you a highly sensitive astrograph with a 2.2deg X 1.5deg FOV at 2"/pix that can produce colour images in a single night with ease and no 4 filter processing and capture and the cylindrical body won't obstruct the light path or produce those crappy looking skewed stars that an odd shaped DSLR will do

Not really meant for newy skies, to take advantage of dark sky sites like spsp and astrofest and the occasional weekend escape to a dark site. 60sec equivalent to a 10min shot
