5 out of 5 stars A Nice Starting GOTO Telescope   December 8, 2008
J. Yao (Lexington, MA)
We got this one as a Christmas gift last year. We've never owned a telescope before. This one is very easy to use and has a very dood GOTO function. Have been used during our trips and campings. Besides, it is a very nice deco in our family room.


5 out of 5 stars A decent capable telescope   August 27, 2008
Michael Jiang (Manhattan, NY)
This is my first goto telescope and I am very pleased with it. The setup was quite easy. Goto and tracking are fairly accurate. The optics is nice and sharp; at one time I got a wrong info that the scope was an APO. Although it was not, it indeed a decent achromatic.
