Hey IceDropFromMars,
I have one. 8se, It is a good scope. I am intending to purchase an EQ6 Pro mount for it.
The single arm mount is prone to vibration. Not solid enough.
Is good to be able to take it anywhere. Transportable and light.
Put a camera on it? Bad.
The mount was designed for the Northern Hemisphere. It works in the South but not as well. I won't go into involved details here.
The tube is very good. I like my setup and will like it even more with the EQ6.
I will however say that to set it up quickly in a new location, just for observing, excellent.
Cheers Marty
