Starwave 70 ED Triplet - anyone tried it?

Has anyone tried this refractor for imaging? The specification is attractive but can't find any DSO images taken with this scope so would be glad of any comments from people who have used it?

If you google altair astro who makes the starwave then you will have more luck. I found some pics out there on google images.

Thanks for the reply. No luck yet I'm afraid as the link shows the ED doubet not the later model triplet see link below.

Would you believe I can find absolutely no astrophotographs taken with this telescope. And yet I suspect it would prove a decent instrument if only I had the nerve to be the first to try it out!

Thanks anyway, appreciated, Peter
