Great Beginner Scope

"Great beginner scope. I won this at a raffle and have enjoyed it everyday, I live in AZ so winter month is great stargazing weather.

Modifications Needed

"I have owned this scope for over a year now and I have had to make a couple modifications to make this a good quality scope. Once these changes are done this is a good learning telescope.

"Given the cheap scope I started astronomy with years ago, this is a great step up on a budget. For the money, no complaints. But I am experienced and have quite a knack for operating a manual scope and knowledge of astronomy. The software alone makes this package killer! Once again, if you know how …" Read Full Review »

"This is my first telescope and I have used it for about a year and a half now. There is a lot of light pollution where I live so I have only been able to see star clusters, binaries, and planets. If you plan to use this in an urban area you will be limited in what you can see.
