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.;)

Really love my telescope. It was easy to put together. Contained all the accessories I needed to get started. Looking forward to getting used to it. Already thinking about all the nighttime objects I?ll trying to look at.

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.
