i used to be the biggest advocate of these scopes, now i am not so sure.
It seems like your paying
twice the cost for a mount, that is now pretty widely known, only tracks, and doesnt have goto.
So, the normal 12" is about $1500 , the version that tracks is about $3000, to my mind, thats $1500 that would be better spent on the non-goto, adding an argo navis, and maybe 2 good pentax ep's etc.
I mean, how import is tracking on this anyway? apart from the planets, i use my dob to look at things at magnifications of between x25 - x75ish i can easily keep something centred with a slight push of my digit, and a WA eyepiece.
no, the more i look at this, the more i think they have dropped a clanger, just think, for $500
less you can buy a 16" scope !!!
