To fans of large telescope, this is the ultimate choice. It have a large 14'' Primary Mirror that can gather massive amount of light and resolution of 0.3 Arc second. The mount if autoguide can track with accuracy of around 1 arc second. If you are into serious astronomy or wanted to set up a small public observatory with permanent mounting, this is a very good choice. However the telescope is too heavy to be easily moved around (120kg Weight)

I purchased this as a decent aperture, portable scope. It has met that expectation being easy to setup and no single piece beyond my ability to lift into place. The spotting scope's mount is a bit fragile. The fit of the centering pins is loose, and the scope moves around in the holder. I have discovered no bugs in the electronics or software so far.
