Did Anyone See This?

Or is it old news?

Price is not for the faint hearted.

I would not waste my time or money on it. It only has 4.5" aperture. Buy a 8" Quattro Newt, appropriate mount and camera and still have money in your pocket, see much more and in more detail...

It seems to be  a 'convenience' scope that does a lot of things in a small, sophisticated  package with minimal footprint and hassle.

It  will give a 'wow'  to those unfamiliar with  visual /astrophotography / EEVA

BUT.....It is the price of my car !!.... and there are cheaper alternatives that provide the same results without the integrated aspect.

Nice if you have the money, but I find that success and satisfaction in this hobby comes from doing the hard yards.

Yes, but you can “protect the planet against near-earth asteroids” and “conduct hands-on science”.    What a load of .... hype.

Marketing departments where would we be without them.

Not dissimilar to the Vaonis Stellina, which S&T did quite a generous review of IMHO. The reviewer basically saying some well heeled folk using it while sipping cocktails is better than them not looking up at the sky at all.

Like it or not, this is probably the wave of the future. Technology will no doubt improve greatly and the price will come down in due time

I think the concept is good and, like Goldfinger's comment  above, I think it points to the future direction. The price point is however flawed for my liking.
