I emphasize at the outset that this is my first telescope.
However, I must say that I can say after a few days that the purchase has definitely paid off.
Already in the first days I was able to enjoy great views of the moon in all its glory .. And to be able to recognize the moon once with his own eye as accurate, is already really great.
In addition, I've found in the last night with my girlfriend to Jupiter, which, although still small, but very visible.
Unfortunately, it has then become too cold, but I think we still have much more to explore.
What is criticized on the telescopic often, is the EQ-1 mount, which already clearly wobbles when touched .. Still, I find, is worth no deduction as the price for what you get delivered, is simply great.
In addition you get from Astro Shop a few small gimmicks, like a newspaper or a beginner ABC Free with this, what a beginning can already help a little further if you have not yet set itself previously with the subject as accurately apart.
All in all I have to say: It's a super telescope for beginners in astronomy and to the somewhat shaky EQ-1 mount I have nothing to complain about. In addition, it is easy to use and thus also a super Christmas gift for your child .. or for a 20-year-old child like me !!
Definitely a buy recommendation (=
