Re: Celestron Origin Review
I will be interested in seeing the images that come out of this scope. It does look like it could bump smart scopes up to a new level. I wonder what the pros and cons will be?

Re: Celestron Origin Review
Pros - 6" f/ 2.2 RASA OTA
Cons - "One-armed-bandit"Alt-Az mount.
The IMX178MC sensor is small (7.4mm x 5.0mm) and the pixels are really small (2.4µ). So even though theFL is short it still misses on a few of the larger objects in the sky.
But the big question is how will it handle the "field rotation" inherent in anAlt-Az mount?
