I have had the Z61 since October 2020.
Personally.... I've never really been in love with it.
I don't know if my expectations were too high for it, but it has never really wowed me.
It looks and feels very well built.
Maybe it's because I use a OSC camera on it (ASI2600MC), but I have always found the stars to have a bit of a blue bloat to them and it also suffers a bit from pinched optics. This may not be an issue with a Mono camera.
I seriously looked at replacing it with either the 61EDPH-II or the (overpriced) Raptor 61, but after talking to Adriano at Testar, I never pulled the trigger.
At this point, I am only really keeping it around to take it to FNQ and get some images of M31, NGC7000 and Veil.
Hope any of this info helps.
Cheers,
