Review: Excellent value and capability telescope - This scope is delivered at a very attractive/competitive price for the aperture, build quality and supplied accessory/lens. This gives good resolving power with an automatic motorised goto function including tracking and object identification (derived from where in the sky it is pointed). The controls and scope orientation set up can be obscure for a new starter, but it has several options to identify the key calibration stars to cover limited visibility or location issues. The mount is Azimuth based to achieve the low cost, this is not a problem for direct observation by eye, but complicates long exposure astro-photography, as although it can track objects those objects will appear to rotate according the objects relative position in relation to the earths orientation. The power supply capability included is a rudimentary battery box which works fine, but suitable mains adapters can easily be found. Makes a good starter scope, but also a good tool for those wishing to progress onwards from basic starter equipment, but limited by budget. For the money an excellent telescope plus auto goto capability
Review: Great telescope and system only let down by the poor focuser. - This is a good telescope and goto system - takes a little practice getting it aligned so don’t expect it to work without a some planning, make sure you can see some of the brightest stars to point to in the alignment routine. Only downside is the focuser - it’s poor and there is a newer model with a 2 stage focuser which is worth looking which I wish I had done, however it is still a decent telescope and has ignighted my enthusiasm having some amazing views of the moon and a few star clusters so far. I have purchased a couple of higher magnification eye prices and a Barlow which I think you need, but the ones that come with it are good for the moon and the bigger objects for a beginner
