For planetary and lunar viewing, this is hard to beat. I love the tracking system and the star (goto) feature. Excellent views of of Saturn and Jupiter. The tripod is very sturdy and strong. The CPC fork assembly is also sturdy and strong. The tripod is about 20 lbs. My wife can carry it easily enough. The scope on the other hand is over 60 lbs. Carrying it further than 100 yards or so is pretty difficult. Especially if the terrain is uneven. I looked at the 14 inch model and I'm glad I did not get it, I don't think I would be able to carry it any distance at all. The spotting scope mount did not come attached, so some assembly was required. The only power source included was a car "cigarette lighter" type power adapter. I highly recommend you get the battery pack for remote viewing. All in all, I am very happy with it. Note: the tripod and the scope were shipped separately, the tracking number showed everything had arrived, but only the tripod was delivered on the first day. A quick call to Adorama, and they assured me the scope was on the way. It arrived the next day. The staff was friendly and easy to work with.

A very nice scope, but a little heavy.
