Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using this telescope for about a year now and it never bores me. You can easily watch the below celestial objects -> Moon in a very high definition -> Mars -> Jupiter with jupiter's moons -> Saturn -> Venus -> Orion Nebula and many many objects. Pros: -> Very helpfull viewfinder -> The First light software is very helpful -> Sturdy design -> The 90degree prism makes erect images -> Very nice focal length Cons: -> Tripod is very very bad. The movement of the telescope up and down while tracking will be of a big challenge The horizontal rotation is fine. But when u move up and down while u r watching through the eyepiece, it will become very difficult to track due to the spillover movement in the tripod's rotators. WHen u tight your telescope, it gets tight in a different position. With this tripod, it almost becomes impossible to tight the telescope exactly after tracking something. You fix it and the telescope will move and gets fixed somewhere where u can see only blank sky. For such a company like celestron, this tripod is a black mark. -> Heavy vibration on the tripods. The nuts and bolts and joints starts sounding unusually after some days of usage. If you plan to buy this, better buy it along with vibration suppression pads or else it will not be fruitful in long term From a telescope perspective, this is a very nice investment for a beginer to intermediate astronomers. You will enjoy the fun of it when you see it in refractors. My suggestion to celestron is to fix these tripods to avoid frustration on these nice telescopes. The goodwill of telescope is lost because of the bad quality tripod. Overall, this is a product I am enjoying every day. Please be very choosy between reflectors and refractors. And please dont see sun using this. Even with a solar filter, i suggest NO. Refractors get in a lot of light focus which sometimes makes the UV rays even come out of solar filters. Nice product except for the Irritating Tripod. :)
