I like the scope, I take it camping. The problem is the "go to" tracking feature. It does not work. If I aline the scope and put it on Saturn, then look at something else and go back to Saturn, it will not track back to it. It will get close but not in the field of vision. This is after I have leveled it and alined on 3 to 4 stars and get a 4 star "good siteing".

Best value for the money

This scope has all the features and quality of similar scopes that cost $100-$200 more. The optics and electronics are nice. I would have preferred a barlow or less extreme secondary eyepiece than the 4mm that's provided.
