The optical design is very nice, compact, etc., but calibrating the RA and Dec in the drive system is a problem. When guiding to the calibration stars, the system reports a failure most of the time when completed, more particularly when the wedge has been adjusted for lattitude. This unit is simply not designed for wedge operations, which is unfortunate if you plan on astrophotography.
