What's not so great: couldn't be used within the city
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this for my father and he just loves it, he watches the stars and all the wildlife around his house. Better get a comfortable seat though, you'll be staring in one spot for a long time!
What's great about it: great visual strength
What's not so great: hard on the neck if you don't stand right
I would recommend this to a friend!

The computerized tracking system only works if you live in a State it has preloaded. I live in NC and my nearest region was Atlanta GA and it would not focus on object in sky tour due to region location. This is a disappointing feature.
The telescope does not stay in one place once you focus on object. It is very loose. Apparently, when I called tech support - it has to be loose for mechanics to work properly.
What's great about it: Great view if you can keep it still
What's not so great: Too loose; digital remote only sets to closest region
I would recommend this to a friend!
