Review Summary

For a very long time now I have loved astronomy, but I've never had a telescope. I didn't want to spend to much money on a fancy reflector, so I thought this would perfect for me. knowing that the 90 EQ with the motor drive is the same price as with out, so I thought it was a no-brainer. After setting it up the first night that I had it, I was amazed at how clear I could look at stars or whatever else I wanted to look at. I highly recommend.
