great scope But as Glen Mentioned you need to do some mods on it to get it right with mine I installed some carbon fibre tubes on the top secondary cage to increase the rigidness of it as there is a lot of flexure as you move the scope around the sky .
also installed a Moonlite Focuser on it the original linear 3" focuser is good but depending on what camera you are using it still has a little movement .
if you are worried about light scattering I purchased a light shroud from Teleskop Express in Germany it was for the 12" GSO RC scope and you can get a front cover as well but when I sorted all this I found this scope very capable and good one thing as a portable set up remember this is quite heavy so you will need at least a Losmandy G11 to carry it .
I have since sold mine as it was just a little to big for my POD Observatory and have down sized to a 8" Bintel imaging scope which is a little beauty as Glen Mentioned it is a quarter of the price and you don't have to do any mods food for thought
cheers Pete
