Marc, Eric Ezystyles used this scope for most of his work and he has produced some excellent images. I think Eric is using the Skywatcher badged version but they are the same scope. But unfortunately due to single distributor monopoloy this OTA is overpriced for what it is. It should be about 500$ but instead its priced around the 1000$ mark, which in my humble opinion is far to much for this scope. At one point this scope was sold sub 500 but i thin it was being imported indirectly and not through the Aussie distributor back then. I would suggest a GSO 10" or 8" would probably be better value for money.
I am considering the 8" version. As i think the 10" maybe a bit much even for the G-11. The problem is not the weight of the OTA but the tube length. The longer the length the more the turning moment Nm (newton meter) is, Force(=mass x gravity or acceleration) x distance. So you need to keep this in mind when considering mount capacity.
