Slight design error - easily surmountable.
This is a good scope, takes a bit of setting up - mine kept showing an error message - needed to reseat the plug for the handset.
The one thing about it that isn't optimal is the thumbscrews for the star diagonal which hold the eyepiece lenses. Unfortunately they are too small to get any purchase on and so don't grip the star diagonal securely - which then flops around. I've got some butterfly bolts on the way that should cure that problem - just something to look out for.
Fantastic bit of kit. Beautiful images of the Moon and other sky objects. There is so much to see; what with the evening Venus, the morning Mars and Saturn and lots of deep sky objects to be amazed at. I am very happy with this telescope and thanks go to Carmarthen Cameras for an exceptional deal.
The best first telescope i have!
After reading a lot of reviews and comments, I decided to buy these products as it offers everything you need for a beginner in the night sky observation. This is my first telescope and I'm definitely pleased with it. Initially, when I received it, I didn't know how to use it, but it had a detailed description of how to assemble it and use it, and everything became very clear with the exception of the guidance system. So far I only use it with manual targeting and correction via the
nice telescope ,but i haven't got to use it much too many cloudy nights.
nice scope a little harder to set up than described, but not impossible.
