    My 2c is that it's only Ok. I've only taken a quick look at it mind and I've never owned one of these myself but my initial impression is that you're not going to get to see a lot except for fairly bight objects becuase it's not overly large (apperture is 4.5") and the bigger you have an apperturem, the better. The other thing I noticed was that the largest eyepiece that came with it was a 20mm which is quite small. You'd definitely need touse the finder scope there. If it was a 26mm one it'd be better I think. Youd' have more of a field of view for zeroing in on objects. I'm tempted to say only go for this if you're on a budget and really want to have something to play with while you're getting into astronomy. You could get something like a Meade ETX for a few hundered which might be a bit nicer, but if you're on a budget that mightn't be of use to you.
