Vaonis Stellina review on DPreview

[skysurfer]

I found a review of thin 80mm f/5 fully electronic telescope, to be controlled by smartphone only for a price of .... $4000 (A$5600), and a weight of 11kg.

What are your ideas ?

I wouldn't use it, after reading that review I wouldn't touch it with a 40ft pole. To me it looks like an apple product with Linux features working in a Microsoft iron lung.

Sorry I just see that as very expensive junk.

There are words to describe this but I can't use them on a family friendly forum like this. The cost alone is a big indicator of some of the choice words I cannot use

Wondering if anyone bought and their experience with Stellina?
