I bought this for the telescope OTA. I knew going in the mount, eyepieces, finder and the rest were of very low quality. The eq mount has an 1/8th inch of play in the RA axis which equates to 1/2 an inch play at the end of the scope, surprisingly to me the tripod itself isn't the unsteady part. The finder is marginal, there is only one semi-usable eyepiece (20mm) and the 3X barlow must have been included as a bad joke. Why the 4 stars? It's a great 80mm F/11 OTA on par with the Chinese Vixen 80mm F/11 scope for less than half the cost. I would bet the two scopes come off the same assembly line. If you're an experienced amateur with a mount, finder, diagonal and eyepieces and want a decent refactor OTA this is a great deal. If you need to buy the accessories needed you could equip this scope with similar accessories to the vixen for about 50 bucks less than the vixen costs.The mount is barely usable and is sure not to last more than a year, the most powerful usable eyepiece for this scope would be a 6mm or 150x on very bright objects such as planets and the moon. So,I'm happy with my purchase, I feel I got a fantastic deal on a very good OTA and a few items that should only reside in a landfill.
