Customer Review: Excellent Choice!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first telescope I've actually owned, so I can't compare the quality to anything other than itself, but I don't think I could come close to the quality of this telescope anywhere else at this price! Even at it's lowest power(20 mm), I could see a white region on the planet Mars (polar ice caps). Although the image was very blurry, I blame this more on the angle at which I had to view the planet through the atmosphere. I have yet to test the telescope to my own personal expectations, the rings around Saturn, but I have a good idea that I will be able to see them at least faintly. The only disappointment is the lack of directions for using the dials to locate objects in the sky. THERE ARE NO DIRECTIONS FOR USING THIS TELESCOPE, only directions to assemble the tripod. I figured it out not knowing anything about telescopes, but it is easiest to just point it out there and start looking! I highly recommend PLANETARIUM for the palm pilot to use as a reference guide. .... Also, since this telescope is so powerful, you will constantly need to be adjusting to follow the object with the rotation of the Earth; it's really easy to do with the extended knobs. This tripod is able to take a motor mount, but I heard those cost almost as much as the telescope itself. ....Enjoy...
