I was thinking about moving to higher end commercial Newts next year but I just don’t find the time in the hobby ( and clear nights ) to warrant dishing out serious cash on premium gear.
I have a busy retirement with family and friends. Still trying to get OS this year too , my Wife and I love to travel.

The Astroworx scope does look good..
The other option is to look at Stefan's scope with Beamtech 10" scope. Another quality assembly. My business partner is buying one and I am sure knowing Stefan the scope will be excellent in all respects.

Yes that is a good offering.
