A good terrestrial scope - Review by D
Overall Score
This scope is brilliant for terrestrial views, but for aspiring amateur astronomers with their sights set firmly on the heavens I suggest investing in a more expensive scope. Specifically the tripod controls on this scope are very lackluster making it exceptionally difficult to stay focused on any object smaller than the moon. Brilliant for long-distance ground based photography though!

Enjoy :) (Posted on 12/03/12)
