Very good

This is my first real telescope and I am very happy with it. I wanted a 8 inch telescope that was easy set up and transport. I think this one is state of art on the market for the moment.
The optic is fine but due to the cool down time you spend some time with not so good view. I did directly upgraded to a 2" diagonal and this added 200 euro on the price. This increase fov from 0,76 to 1,3 degree and I think most owner will do this upgrade.
I also think you want to upgrade to a 40 or 30 mm wide field eyepiece (70-82 degree) and of course some other eyepieces.
The wifi works fine for iPhone/iPad but it is hard to use a tablet without losing night vision. It is possible to set the app in night mode but it would be good be able to set the hole telephone in night mode. I have mostly used the telescope with the hand control and I find it easier. It is possible to plan the night with the app which is good.
But there is some poins to be improved
Less noisy, include a 2" diagonal, dual encoder so it is possible to adjust manual without losing alignment, dual speed focuser, a fan for faster cold down and a 9x50 right angled finderscope.
