I have received my new SharpStar D150f2.8HNT reflector. (Actually was delivered Tuesday, unboxed this morning). It is very solidly built with a good carbon fiber and and aluminum throughout.
The spider vanes are an integral part so no worries about twisting them at all. The mirror doesn't have apparent mirror clips to cause weird diffraction on stars that can happen with normal clips. The cover is very well fitted.
The focuser is solid and well dampened and has a T2 adapter built in so you can put a T-ring for a DSLR right on it and have perfect backfocus with the integrated corrector, or if need be you can screw the 1.25 adapter onto it so you can use a dedicated astro camera.
The mounting rings are very nice and have an assembly where you can use the top rail as a handle or mount the correct adapter to put a guidescope on it. There is also a built in finderscope mount on the OTA itself. The bottom rail should fit in the Losmandy saddle on your mount perfectly.
The case it comes in is very nicely made. It is lockable, padded, and stands out with a nice color that matches the scope.
If the weather cooperates I will be testing it with a DSLR and I have some excellent targets in mind. It will look very good on my new CEM40 with 2" tripod.
