> I don't know any amateur astronomer using a refractor, let alone one with this budget.

Refractors are very popular in amateur astronomy and astrophotography.

The pricing on this Hyperia is pretty silly though. You can get a Takahashi 150mm refractor for ~$15K (well, if you can get one) which surely is far better quality optics than this unknown brand, and adding all the extras for feature parity should still come in at half the price or less.
