I recently found a o-gps1 astrotracer for 120$ and couldn't resist. I've only had a few evenings with it and nothing much show so far but it's great fun for extending exposure times of night/miklyway shots. The firmware in my k50 works well with it, even allowing me to use an external intervalometer, but has no hdmi output which, which makes getting focused difficult to the point of yard yoga. The older K5 is a bit fidgety and didn't work with the intervalometer when I tried it(will try again soon) but using a small monitor mounted to the tripod makes focus a snap.

This one also has a heating elementl but but for some reason also requires hot intake. It's kinda stupid.

I had one that worked until the drain pump shaft rusted out and I had to make a decision if I rebuilt the whole thing again or get a new one...mistake.
The thing was really running out of gas plastic giving up etc. It wasn't a high grade model to begin with but at least it did the job. Now we have to run it on "1 hour wash" for to ever get done, and if the primadonna doesn't get hot water right away it won't start. Have to run the faucet to get hot water closer to it before it will even run, and no garbage disposal!? whoever though that was a good idea....probably made more money.

That's been a disturbing trend with all of them I've looked at. It may also decide that saving water is more important than cleaning your dishes.
When we moved shop a couple years ago I begged the old dishwasher from them. We almost never used it to clean parts so it was like new. One of the jer..er I mean former bosses brought it in because his wife didn't like the color. I don't either but a stainless interior was hard to just leave to the landlords.
It's waiting for my current one to die. ..I need to stop fixing it. :P
