Matthew Knight's Review of OpticsPlanet Exclusive Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ Refractor Telescope Package - Telescope 21048 w/ Motor Drive

So first let me explain my giving it a four star rating, it was a little bit of a pain to put together, but I believe I finally have a set up correctly, I haven't personally used it yet but I plan to tonight after this review, I will say that it's pretty hard to get out of the house, the legs arkinda cheap aluminum kind of scares me and might fall over with the wind draft or a gust of wind my tip it over.

I just want to see this is my first telescope that I personally bought, I watched a few videos on YouTube about the telescope and I hope it works out like a lot of everybody else has with this telescope.

I would like to update this review in a few days, after spending some time actually using it, if I can't I don't know if optics planet Will allow me to edit my review or not but I'll try.

Now personally I haven't gone with the motor yet, and I don't think I'm going to use the motor drive.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • The tripod legs, the site scoop
Would Recommend: Yes
