A chance to Explore the Heavens

A Great telescope for your children and grandchildren! It comes with almost everything needed by someone that wants a chance to study the sky! This one is for my Grandson that has always shown an interest in STEM! I hope this keeps his interest and pays off in the future. I own a similar Meade scope and love it!

Perfect go anywhere telescope!

this is a downsize scope for me. have had many much larger scope's. 70+ years i struggled to set them up. this little scope is perfect for me. optics and drive work very well. I also enjoy F15 focal length. for 127mm aperture excellent planetary detail i would tell anybody that's tired of setting up Behemoths and back and forth with equipment. buy it and spend time observing instead of setting up.

Meade etx125

very happy with it so far - used to have a 14" Celestron in a dome for 30. We moved to a more urban area but still wanted something. For its size and price this is a nice instrument and pretty stable. Good fork mount and tripod.
