Novice: bushnell 1300x100 # 788840 - Bushnell Northstar 1300mm x 100mm 4" Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope 788840

Delivered quickly and all parts there and in good shape, Initial setup is quick and everything looks good and works well together. You can turn it on and then manually point it to something and use the controller to follow the object. Aligning telescope for Go-To function difficult, I have not figured it out after 3 nights trying. Easier to point and look so far. It does not track objects once alinged or I just have not figured it out yet. The voice is difficult to hear and you need to hold it to your ear like a cell phone to hear anything. Red LED lacks contrast and is difficult to read. The 9 volt battery seems to last a while- same battery after 3 nights. Focus works well- good feel. Battery compartment cover not well designed. This is my first scope I bought to take camping and look at the moon and planets. I will learn more as I use it more. I am satisfied with this purchase. GO ><>'
Pros: Quaility optics, good tripod, can use manually-without aligning computer, red dot works well, good focus,
Cons: Manual hard to understand for alignment, voice volume low and hard to understand- no volume control, LED screening hard to read, does not track objects, 4mm eye piece useless, cannot use external power
