Family loves it

Liked the fine adjustment knobs. They make following moving objects easier than some other telescopes where you just lock the telescope down, and eventually everything moves out of view. Set up was pretty easy, there's a video made by Meade you can follow if you get confused.

Good Product

Arrived in time for Christmas despite the product being on backorder which was great. It looks as pictured and seems to be good quality. It took some messing around to figure out how to get everything working as novices so some more instructions would have helped but overall a good purchase.

So easy to assemble and it’s beautiful. We needed a telescope that we could take camping with us and this will be perfect. My husband was over the moon when he opened this.
