Pros:  dual use- excellent scope for land, moon, and planets. Portable
Cons:  very touchy to focus, especially at high magnifications. eyepiece that comes with it is of marginal quality
Would recommend:  yes

This is my first spotting/telescope purchase and my viewing of the moon, planets, wildlife, and landscapes have been delightful. Portability is a plus for backyard astronomy, but a minus for backbacking. Focusing is very touchy and I think a better tripod than the (co-called) heavy-duty alt-azimuth tripod would help this because the slightest touch vibrates the image. The multi-coated 32mm eyepiece included is marginal compared to a fully multi-coated one. I also purchased a 8mm-24mm zoom eyepiece and love it. A lower powered eyepiece would also be desirable. Excellent scope for the money.

Just purchased, so haven't used a lot, but what I see so far is impressive. Sets up quickly, easy to use, clear images. When purchased, I depended heavily on staff and user reviews, so thanks.
