I finally got a chance to have a go and I'm fairly impressed with it's tracking considering I have no polar scope.
I've posted two photos to give an idea, the photos themselves are rubbish but that's down to the high iso and bad LP. All I have done to the pics is change the curves as they were badly washed out.

Still both were shot at 50mm the first 98 seconds and the second 203 seconds.

I can't wait to take it to some dark sky sites.
When I get another chance I'll pop the astronomik LP filter in and try some different focal lengths and I want to see what the starscape mode can do.

So like I said the pics are awful but this was purely a test of the tracking.
