"This is my first refractor, and I am very pleased..the telescope I could not ask for a better one at this price..very well made, and everything I have looked at or found in the sky has been picture perfect, and true color. the Porta mount is a perfect mount for this scope..but the slow motion handles are very cheap, I threw them away and bought the Vixen flexable handles and it made a huge difference, and they work great, it was like a whole different mount. I would recommend this scope and mount to anyone for their first Apo telescope. it is light weight even with the Porta mount, makes a Great Go-Scope..Plus it comes with a really nice hard case, with room for the Telescope, the flip-mirror dia. and even the finder scope. all this is included in the package, making it a Great deal.."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
