Pros:  Easy to assemble
Cons:  Not sure how to use it, the instructions are vague.
Would recommend:  yes

The instruction booklet is a little vague. We were able to align the red dot finder and view the moon. We have not been able to view stars. They just look like bright lights and we have not been able to bring them into focus. We definitely need some more help, but the website is not any better than the booklet.

My 10 year old son asked for a telescope for Christmas; after reading many reviews I decided on this model and was thrilled at the price I found on this site. He also asked for a microscope so having that product included free was even greater. Both he and my husband are very happy and are also looking forward to the free subscription to the magazine.

although I'm just learning the best choice I made was the meade 114 eq .It has all the features I need. It. may be just a basic telescope but after seriosly checking all of them out. A beginner could bot find a better scope for the money.The information that optics planet provided left no doubt in my mind that the selection I made with the resources I have, gave me the best choice, without breaking the bank. Thank you very much.

Pros:  Great price for the quality! Easy to setup and use.
Cons:  A bit of vibration in the viewing field when bumped, but let it settle, and it's a champ.
Would recommend:  yes

I was nervous about getting my first reflector scope, but this scope, and Meade as a company, has set my mind at ease. Easy to set up, easy to use, and came nearly perfectly collimated. On first light, I saw Jupiter and it's four moons easily. Can't wait for more!
