"Alright, this is my first REAL telescope, After some research, I decided to go with an 8" Dob. I am very much satisfied with my purchase. [...] Setup was roughly 30 minutes. I was able to see the surface of the moon in crisp, clear detail. I was also able to see the orion nebula, it was quite breathtaking. A week later I also purchased the Zhumell 1.25 eyepiece and filter kit. With the 6mm and barlow, was able to easilly see Saturn, The Cassini Division, and several of her moons.The base leaves a lot to be desired. I am not a big fan of particleboard. It was also too low to the ground, and leaning over to view things gets old really fast. Not really a big deal though as it was easy to make a similar base using the old one as a pattern, 12" taller out of 3/4" plywood. Then I just used the same bearings.It works great now, and was even a fun modification to create.This scope is a deal, jump on it."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
