Great telescope, easy to use - Review by Eyvonne A
Overall Score
Great first telescope, very detailed instructions. Allignment so easy with laser sight, quick setup & easy to use.

Only drawback has been the weather, it's been either raining or cloudy since I got it - so I haven't been able to play!

Extremely fast delivery and great service. Ordered another item from another ebay seller a few days before this telescope - telescope arrived 1 week earlier!

Thanks! (Posted on 25/11/11)

Pros: very versatile and easy to use with powerful zoom

First telescope... - Review by Donovan S
Overall Score
I chose this for my first scope, and so far have found it excellent for Jupiter, Saturn, the moon, star clusters and a handful of the brighter galaxies and nebulae. Aligning, finding and tracking objects is all very quick and straight-forward.

Keep in mind though that for the smaller size of the scope, some of the deep-sky objects in the database will simply be too dim to see without a very dark location. But for a first telescope that's easy to grab, set up and go take a look at the sky, highly recommended. :)

I was also very happy with the prompt, reliable dispatch and delivery. (Posted on 21/07/10)
