Affordable big telescope!

It is indeed a "monster" telescope! You can tell that it was well made, really good packaging too. So in a few weeks, I should bring it to the desert, and by what I saw, regarding the telescope itself, I'm sure I will have amazing nights of stargazing! ;) I'm happy with my purchase.;)

Nice lightbucket

Very nice scope. Easy to assemble. Once collimated it gave great views. Do recommend upgrading the finder to a right angle finder or red dot as it?s kinda awkward to look through. Also helps if you already have some better eyepieces as the included ones are just so-so. The tension control works very well at supporting my heavy eyepieces without slipping and the motion on both axis is smooth.
