Could be better - could be worse. - Meade 114EQ-AR 114mm Telescope 4.5" Equatorial Reflector with Red Dot Finder Scope, Full-Size Tripod, 2 Eyepieces, Meade Autostar Suite Software 04067

Upon receiving the item, I was anxious to get this set up for use since I was having visitors to my new home. The night sky here is unbelievable, but we were left to looking through binoculars since all the adjustment knobs were missing with the shipment. It took several phone calls and 3 weeks to finally get the parts from Meade. Since it has been cloudy the past two weeks, I still have not been able to use the telescope. Not the fault of Optics Planet, but Meade support has really missed the mark on this one. I'd buy from Optics Planet again, as they have been great on other products, but if you have product problems that involve Meade, expect some difficulties!
Pros: Average for the money
Cons: Missing parts from the manufacturer - terrible response from Meade
