I've owned this telescope for nearly 2 years now, and it has been worth every penny. The Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, with the StarBright XLT Coatings, provides a very clear and sharp image. The twin fork mount and heavy-duty tripod are super-steady, and the SkyAlign computer with GPS is very accurate, and eliminates the need to enter date, time, and location information to pinpoint celestial objects, a feature I thought was neat. Never had an issue with the controller yet. Overall, I'd say this is a good investment for a long-term telescope that performs.

We have owned this scope for 5 months and have had problems right from the start. Non responding controller and error messages. Wants to be staraligned every 10 minutes. Customer support not good. Would not recommend!!!
