The tripod wobbles a bit, the finder scope is meh, the focuser slips, culmination is a chore, but you're not buying a top of the line scope
-
A bit disappointed with the view finder as I find it extremely difficult to look through it and see anything.
-
A bit hard to get it on focus
-
The telescope is somewhat better than the terrible reviews, and quite a bit worse than the glowing ones
-
I must say I was a bit skeptical after reading so many poor reviews.
-
For a bit more money the Celestron NexStar series is great and most of those are motorized making stargazing a bit easier.
-
Everything is easily jostled loose and the axes are a bit unusual and hard to adjust

-
The gears in the tripod are a bit jumpy, not as smooth as I had expected.
-
Many work perfectly right out of the box but with this type of scope the mirrors can need a tiny bit of adjustment once you receive it.

Smaller, lighter and a bit more powerful
-
The scope is a bit annoying to get aligned, but once it is aligned, the views are amazing and very clear
-
n’t recommend extending the ‘feet’ much, if at all, or it shakes pretty badly
