Great scope - can'y beat the price - Bushnell ARES 6 inch Compact Dobsonian Telescope OpticsPlanet Edition

This is a great 6" scope. Manufactured by the same company that makes Orion and Skywatcher scopes, so high quality. Great optics, great features, solid construction, awesome first telescope. Out of the box, my Skywatcher version of this scope was perfect. I didn't even need to adjust the mirrors. It is relatively lightweight for its size, so it is easy to move. Great for planets and star-clusters. You really can't go wrong with this scope for the cost. Purchase a cheap Barlow along with this and you will have 4 useful magnifications (48x, 120x + 96X (25mm w/Barlow) and 240x (10mm + Barlow).
Pros: Quick to Set-up, easy to move, incredible features for the price
Cons: The azimuth (left/right) movements are a bit stiff
