Pros:
Works as advertised
Cons:
Field setup is tedious
Best Uses:
Astronomy
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The telescope seems fine, although I'm wishing I had gotten a 6" or 8" model. Tech support from Celestron is the pits, with responses to questions taking forever. Knowing this, if I were to do it all over, I would opt for an 8" Meade.
