Love it! I can see the craters of the moon in great detail. I'm hoping the weather where I'm at clears up so I can try to view planets next!
great product, great price
Very surprised with this telescope. The details you can see on the moon is unreal. Also, It brings inJupiter and its moons.
Great little scope and mount for the money.
I plan to purchase the 114 Newt, and also the 102mm x600mm , and perhaps the 102mm x 1000mm refractors on Alt/ az mounts so I can switch scopes to my EQ depending on my viewing preference.
Great company... Hope to upgrade the mount at some point in the year with motorized/ GoTo.
