I am looking at purchasing a SkyWatcher 150x750 reflector on EQ3-2 mount and there seem to be a few model alternatives out there...

In particular, I've been lookig at the Skywatcher SW500S at Bintel, (note the "S" in the model number) and was wondering if anyone had any experience using this particular scope? Is it a short tube one? or do they use barlow to extend the focal length? Looks like a normal newt to me though...

Any input from people that had hands-on experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
