I just use mine as a guide scope. You will need a field flattener for imaging, so factor that into the price. eg WO PFlat2
Also think about how you are going to mount it - it has a 'V' style foot bolted onto the bottom (can be removed it needed)
As a guide scope, you will need some 2" extensions on the back to get the guide camera to come to focus.
It looks good and the retractable dew shield is handy.
It has a nice rotator built in, but I never use it.
I don't think the focuser will take much weight. For a guide scope its ok holding up a QHY5 in my case, but I would say it could struggle to hold a heavy camera in focus when pointed straight up.
Any more q's , just ask.
