paper instructions and dvd instructions seem to contradict each other. video made balancing the instrument seem easy, but I struggled with it. 3 hours later....I was finally outside enjoying this telescope!

Arrived quickly, setup was easy with some you-tube help on setting the mount and works really well. Enjoying star gazing with the family.

Purchased for my grandson. Took it out last nite on back wooden deck for a spin. It was perfectly colimated (spelling?) with being an f/ 5.0 it was a very nice wide field. I checked using my very old orthoscopic eyepieces against the Meade cheapie Possl's and the field was amazing. Flat and larger than my old eyepieces. Vibration on deck was very minimal. It's a very nice package.

The Meade Polaris 130mm (5.1") 650mm f/5.0 German Equatorial Reflector Telescope is a beginner telescope with a 130mm aperture, reasonable size for first time observers. The equatorial mount included has slow motions controls for easy tracking of the night sky and Meade has also included 3 eyepieces of different magnifications with purchase of the Meade Polaris 130mm Reflector Telescope. As an added bonus, the AutoStar Suite Astronomy Planetarium DVD (Windows PC only) has over 10,000 celestial objects included and the end user can print star charts.
