Also, that refractor is going to have you bent over sideways or laying on the ground to look through it, after standing up next to the mount to use the phone interface.

BAH!

Get the newtonian, at least the eyepiece and phone stuff will be at a similar height when you're standing in the dark and the cold trying to find something.

Also, have someone in mind to forward the scope to, for when you decide that either (a) you don't like it or (b) you decide that you've moved past it. You will hit one of those two paths sooner than you think with a scope like that.

The technology is interesting, and based on some well established techniques that people are currently using, but i think that the implementation might turn out to be too simple to be really effective.
