Thanks for those links Paul, Rory sounds so much like Hammond from Top Gear, that if you closed your eyes you would think that Top Gear has moved on from cars to telescopes.
Of course, his premise that a cheap scope is as good as an expensive one is based on photo quality being the only goal. Maybe, just maybe, one's goal is to have the shiniest toys.
Truly a humorous premise. Nice video quality and interesting concept.
Aside from the tilt, out of focus shots and what looks like average guiding, which would indicate user skill level; maybe it is supposed to be a comedy. Otherwise it is not a decent comparison.
I'll stick with my expensive gear for repeatability of results, especially in remote imaging. Still, good results can be obtained from modest equipment in a wide field setting.
