Great review. Other similar telescopes include the Unistellar Equinox and the ZWO Seestar. These all have a fixed focal length, designed for larger deep sky objects, which are large but very faint, but they will be disappointing if you wish to view planets, which are small but very bright. A much cheaper telescope with more magnification will do a better job of viewing planets.

All of these smart telescopes make astrophotography of deep sky objects way easier than any of the standard methods, even idiots like myself can get spectacular photos of the Whirlpool galaxy, and so on, with very little setup time or knowledge. They are a very low entry barrier way to get into this hobby which can otherwise be rather daunting.

BTW the rings of Saturn are pretty much invisible at the moment because we're looking at them edge-on. In a year or two we will see them from a better angle.
