See the Stars!   07/07/2008
By cyberqueen from akron, oh

What's great about it: great visual strength
What's not so great: hard on the neck if you don't stand right

"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!"

Could be a great product   05/20/2008
By rhangel677 from NC

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

"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."
