Questions & Answers

Bill A : When fully magnified, what percentage of the viewing lens is showing the image.  With each Planet and then nebulae and such.?ERIC C : That's a tough question to answer because there's a lot of variables. It mostly depends on the eyepieces you have available. But, you'll be able to see the planets up through Saturn in pretty good detail. Same with prominent nebula or star clusters.
Bill A : how much of the viewing lens is filled by say Jupiter, the moon,  mars,  neptune, etc.?  Because if it just still looks like a dime size that's not worth it.?
Eric R : Can you retrofit this telescope with a clock drive?

Great for astrophotography

Great company to order from. And great products. I have used the Meade 125mm MCT StarNavigator NG for the last four months and have enjoyed the visual as well as photographic aspects of this telescope. When the Meade 125mm MCT StarNavigator NG and its ability to track the planets, and is paired with an astrophotography. The images come to life. There are so many modes and options. Going to try and photograph the space station soon.

Great telescope for the price and for a beginner.

Great telescope. Still learning how to use it. Great telescope. Easy to assemble. Still learning how to work with the computer. Very easy to use manually. First reflector for me, have only used a refractor before, so it is a little different to get used to.

Excellent telescope for this price range

This is an excellent telescope. It's easy to set up and easy to align. Once aligned, it finds objects and tracks them perfectly. The two eyepieces that come with it work well but I would still recommend purchasing a Barlow and maybe some good Plossl eyepieces. I have no complaints whatsoever with this telescope.
