"I love the scope, it's very easy to transport and use. Initial setup a bit of a pain due to the instructions, but breakdown/setup since then couldn't be easier. Packs in my Civic in no time. I can't wait to take it camping.

The base is simple and efficient, and pointing is smooth. Difficult to use the finder, however. This is a great scope to set up and go, with no real fuss. I guess the only messing about is with the collimation, and that's only occasionally.

This scope is great: quick, easy, painless. A perfect way to easily enjoy the skies. Not really quite a 5 star, but better than a 4. The feeling while looking at the cloud bands of Jupiter is 5 stars though. And there's so much left to see..."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
