I agree, but the one thing that makes me shake my head is that this scope is virtually an imaging only scope (notwithstanding all the tyre kickers that frequent Pauls post on CN's asking about visual), and yet the designers God Bless them saw fit to make this guy with a normal CCD camera fit 5" of extension tubes. I mean come on. Design the thing with the average CCD in mind guys. Given an average focuser I suspect that most will suffer field flatness caused by the stock focuser sagging. I hope you can get around this Paul. Not impossible but easily avoidable I would have thought.

EDIT: This isn't a wind at the scope itself, I am actually very keen to see it work, nor the new owners, more a "why didn't they design it like this".
