    Has anyone gotten one yet? Mine shipped but I have not received it. If any of you get one, please share tips, tricks and images. I have a Celestron 6, and Sky Watcher tracker but to me this new “scope” will be like a point and shoot for astro: quick, easy and full of limitations. Still, anything that gets us out there looking up is a good thing.

    I've used it a couple times now. I am in the city (Washington DC) so extreme light pollution. I was actually surprised that it found itself with its built-in plate solving. This is M82 and M82 after 200 15 second exposures. Next I am looking forward to using this in dark skies. I have a Celestron and Sky Adventurer along with Canon L series glass but they are a pin to haul around and setup. Perhaps this will be an easy alternative that travels easily.
