Had this scope for about four months.  Have imaged CCD as well as Visual.  Surprisingly robust, sturdy feeling OTA.  Very sharp views.  Quite pleased.  SBIG 11000 should be a great match.

Used the telescope for the first time from my drive way.  Star test looks perfect inside and outside.  With the 31mm NT5, the view is very wide and sharp.  The included 3-6mm NZoom is perfect for this instrument.  Stars focus sharp and focus holds as the EP is zoomed.  Fit and finish are perfect.  This telescope, mounted on a G11, will go to star parties and dark site for visual use.
