I disagree Raymo. I have an 8" Nexstar and it does track well if correctly setup. Although, I do agree that in the altaz mode it isn't good enough, however, I have mine on an equatorial wedge. Mounted on a wedge this setup provides excellent tracking. I have this setup in my observatory with an 80ED mounted on top and I am very happy with this setup. Although I wouldn't get rid of this scope, I must admit I now wish I had gone the 11".

Cheers Peter
