Dynamite in a little package
Pros:Quality Lenses,Compact,Lightweight,Easy to Use,Strong Construction
Cons:Rough feeling focuser
Comments:Have this scope mounted on a Takahashi 130mm and is a perfect companion as a finder/guide scope. Will use as a video wide field imager in the future and expect the results to be excellent. Very nice scope for the price.
