I got this in addition to and to possibly replace my S50. So far I'm very impressed with its abilities. I was never really able to get my S50 to image past 30 second exposures without many dropped images. Now, I'm easily able to image at 60 seconds without ANY dropped images. It final products have been amazing! Unfortunately, I've only had 2 clear nights since it arrived! I look forward to some better imaging ahead. Here is an Andromeda that is from 2.25 nights of imaging...

So far so good. Fewer bugs than the S30, and after capturing similar objects in the sky, with much more moonlight and less capture time, the results have been very good.
Only issue is the 3/8" thread plate for the tripod comes loose after jumping to a few objects (any horizontal movement), and it almost came loose at one point. Had to do the rubber washer fix I found online.

Amazing images and works well. Everything is great with only one exception. The rubber feet are in the way of my vixen mount during rotation. Easy fix removing them. Weird having to.
