Great Affordable Telescope

I have had this scope over 6 months now and love it. I have seen nice views of Jupiter and its Great Red Spot as well as Saturn's rings but this scope is more for lower magnification and wide field targets. Great views of star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies if you can get away from light pollution! This isn't a perfect scope I find one of the control arms gets in my way a lot and setting circles are useless. However, the mount is solid enough and views are crystal clear once collimated. Great affordable telescope!
