Post by davidyeo@yahoo.com »

Hi
Anyone knows if the gears / tracking has vastly been improved in the new model? Besides int batt and wifi, any other upgrades?

Thanks.

The Evolution does look like a very good update to the aged Nexstar 8SE. One thing I would have liked is if they managed to shrink down the size and cut down the weight of the mount and OTA more, so that it can be easily transported for frequent outings.
