As for Questar - perfect long-focus optics but unsuited to modern digital cameras, in an OTA and mount which are superbly crafted works of art - if you are happy with 1970's tech - no stepping motors, no fast slewing, no autoguiders, no GPS nor encoders.
How did you find the GP-D2 for accuracy, how was the PE?
