  • Great Photography Package Great Price
All I can say is Wow! Talk about a Beast!!! You better have some room and a good back to lug this thing around! It's worth every effort. Don't let naysayers steer you wrong about this scope. For the money it is rock solid. The Mount (which if you're shooting deep space Photos) is unbelievable. I've read where people were whining about it being noisy but I have not experienced that. Again, for the money its a great buy. I recommend purchasing the Orion Laser Collimator. No matter what they say, reflector scopes slip out of collimation all the time and having that tool makes it very easy to fix. I also purchased a set of 2 inch lenses for the scope. Once you look through a 2 inch lens you will never go back to 1.25 lenses. Lastly Amazon always comes through on my purchases. Whenever I have made a mistake or even did not like something I purchased they made it simple to fix it. ... show more

  • Good choice
Absolutely great telescope for the value. Did lots of research before buying. There's so much to learn with this telescope. It has lots of features. It is a little heavy and big but the view was amazing and quality was awesome. I got it as a gift but did return since it just wasn't good timing to have a big telescope In a small room. I would definitely recommend it. I shipped it back and payed about 250 for shipping but I got a full refund. Great seller. Thank you! ... show more

  • Nice scope
Super sturdy tripod and mount. Hate that it is made in China but I guess everything is these days.

  • All good quality
I've been an amateur astronomer for 40 years and I am amazed how good quality the tripod coming with this telescope is. Very sturdy, I am using it to load a C11 also, and the performance is perfect. The optics on the 8" telescope are also very good quality. Great buy!

  • Very nice
Extremely sharp, tracks well, kind of heavy to be portable - Roughly 70 pounds, and awkward. Needs collimating right away. Mine was pretty far off. I use a Svbony laser collimator off Amazon. Easy to do. I added the Skyport wifi module ($100) and Starsense Autoalign ($400) to mine right away because I am lazy. Via the Skyport module the scope uses the phones gps, so no need to add a gps unit. Point it north and alignment is pretty much just one tap in the Skyport app and you are done. After tweaking it a little it centered every object I went to. Scope tube needs to be well balanced each way for best results. The 2" eyepiece socket is great for an SLR. I used embroidery hoops to set the bands in place so I can rotate the viewfinder without losing balance - Had to use small chains to extend their length so I could tighten them down.. I built a 3 wheel dolly with locking 5" wheels to roll it around. Works great. Wheels on Amazon "5 Inch Caster Wheels, Casters Set of 4 Heavy Duty with Brake, Safety Dual Locking Casters". This scope won't disappoint you. Oh, I mostly use 25mm, 10mm, and 6mm eyepieces. ... show more

  • Perfect for getting started with astrophotography
I've had this scope for a little over six weeks, and I already have a nice little collection of photos. I will just let the images speak for themselves. These are a series of stacked images captured with this scope and mount, a basic DSLR camera, and WITHOUT a guiding camera or any filters. I just had to process them in the software PixInsight. Except for the moon. That one is just a straight-up snapshot. In short, this scope is awesome. ... show more

  • Great telescope
Nice telescope, and a solid mount. Easy to get started with astrophotography with just a T ring adapter and a DSLR.

4.5 stars. Hand controll is not very user friendly and not well lit. But over all good quality
