Got this text message on the Club phone number.

What do we have here? Most likely the S50Pro — preorders open Aug 25, with plans (no doubt) to deliver just in time for Christmas. Beware: early leaks say it will likely have the same “backlash” issues as the S30Pro. Unless the delay led to some improvements in the hardware. ZWO’s official position on the S30Pro’s backlash issue is that it is not a manufacturer defect, it’s the best you can get in a value-based product.

That’s $100 less than I guessed.

It looks good, but I just didn’t want to spend that kind of cash.

It’ll be interesting to see what some club members do with it 👍
