The Celestron rep makes it seem like they've made some groundbreaking revolution, while smarscops had been around for like 5 years now... Also, if they intended for the camera to be replaceable, why release it with such an old model included when you could've added a newer and better model? Are you affiliated to the brand btw, cause it sure seems to be the case?
I have a vaonis vespera classic, thinking of upgrading to the vaonis vespera pro or origin. The only thing I am not happy about is the crap camera origin is using.
I don't really think that $4k is in the average beginner's budget... I recommend the seestar s50 @ $500. Does basically the same thing. Maybe the intermediate imager would save up for this with its changeable camera and rasa optics. That is its redeeming feature. I'd love to have one, but it just doesn't fit my budget...
There is not a direct correlation between someone’s budget and their skill level in the hobby. It’s not in everyone’s budget, but I think they will sell a lot regardless.
One could imagine that eventually the technology will trickle up and down into other scopes, and the premium for the automation will be less and less of a percentage of the total cost of the equipment. Personally I cannot wait to see this in a larger scope. It’s already really good.👍🏽
I had an unavoidable distraction during the video so I missed it if you guys said this has an included computer interface. I'm not spending all that money on something to look at a little dinky phone screen. I know phones are all the rage but they're a serious compromise in display capabilities. A real computer works much better. I have a home observatory and this new Origin system might be a candidate if I can control the scope and pipe the image to a much larger screen than a stupid little phone allows.
@@CosmosSafari I didn't say anything was accurate. I said if they said it could be run from a computer I missed it and explained why if it could not that I'm not interested. Try to keep up.
I have a problem with a smart telescope that can't time-lapse or shoot video. That why I chose the Seestar and Dwarf telescope
Is the camera swappable?
If you watch my NEAF video on Origin I ask this. I don’t want to speak for them.

Can the Origin OTA be used with an existing evolution mount ?
I don’t believe so, and Origin is not being sold as a separate OTA at this time even if it did.
I want the 6inch RASA. I don't need anything else
You may change your mind if you ever get a chance to try it. The software is crazy good.

Celestron is the sponsor of my podcast. That being said, I have one of these scopes and can tell you that it is pretty impressive.

6" for the price of an 11" :(

Ridiculous price for what it is

This isn’t entirely accurate. I have run it from my iphone, my iPad, and my MacBook Pro.
