Just adding to Johns point here, I'm not casting any aspersions on ServoCats, just to be realistic of what they are capable of. They do what they were designed to do ( visual tracking), brilliantly. I'll have one on my next `big' bino for sure.

Deleting the Servocat (or the Argo) is not an option IMO, on such a premium piece of equipment. Buying a small refractor for imaging is the right option IMO, but do not butcher the main scope for the sake of the toy scope.
