I found this on the outlet site:

Is this mount for real? does anybody have any feedback on the relatively fast optics for this 16" beast. can you do astrophotography with this?

with kind regards,

We had 3-4 of those in the club, but the mount and the scope were nothing special. Optics were poor on all, mounts were no where near robust enough and all were converted to Truss and none of them are still around.

One of these was on Ebay about a month ago. It was still in the shipping boxes. The seller had to run in twice to get his $1200 starting price.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
