NEW Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi

[FLO]

Sky-Watcher have released two compact tabletop telescopes that provides computerised GOTO and 'Freeedom Find' wirelessly via your smartphone or tablet. 

Though intended for tabletop use both have a regular 3/8" tripod bush so can be used with the Sky-Watcher 3/8" tripod or an any other suitably sized photo tripod.

I like the increased telescope size from the virtuoso v1 and I think they'll work very nicely (I like my v1 flavour) freedom find is very useful.

I noticed these had popped up ... what strikes me as strange is that the heritage 130 has (I believe) a 3/8" tripod bush but my heritage 150 doesn't. I'd always guessed this was possibly due to the greater weight and size of the 150 , but this new virtuoso 150 has a tripod bush, and it is quite a bit heavier than the plain 150 heritage  ....

oops, 3/8 not 1/4"

I've just come across these while researching Push To options for my Heritage 150p. For now it looks like I'll be trying out SkEye and attaching my phone to the scope, but I would definitely have bought one of these had they been released while I was looking for a scope.
