This seems like a nice telescope. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a shred of documentation or any type of instructions. I'm new to high end telescopes and I've had to do a lot of googling to understand the various parts and how it all goes together and how to get the most out of it. It's been more than a little frustrating. I'm starting to figure things out and look forward to learning more. Other people speak highly of it, so I'm excited to see what it can do once I figure everything out.

Maybe not for a total newbie?

My 13 year old?s second telescope. Absolutely loves this product and the quality compared to his old Meade. Originally looked at Celestron 300, but this was just as good if not better quality.
