Hotech vs OCAL
I've had a Hotech kit for many years and found it to be quite useful for checking my C8 and RC8, although a bit fiddly to setup and maintain. It also takes up a fair amount of kitchen real estate when the whole kit and caboodle is in operation. Also needs a tripod for best convenience.
I got an OCAL last year and immediately found it to be far easier to setup and use, both with SCT, RC and Newt. Follow up with a star test and I suspect you'll be happy.
I posted about the OCAL on IIS late last year, but am only now getting around to doing some real imaging verification tests with the long FL scopes, as I have been busy with rain and wide field toys.
Cheers,
