Great Value, Great Beginner Telescope
I got this telescope for my daughter and I promised her we'd be able to see the craters on the moon. Unfortunately for me, I did opposite what the manual suggests and I tried to use it for the first time at night...and I knew not much at all about the stars. Needless to say, the first night was no...

There are better products out there
Took out of box easy to put together, yet problems where riddled with controller screen and drive motors. It never was able to properly align. Returning for Celestron 5se
Pros: Accessories, Auto tracking
Cons: hard to align
awesome
i used this telescope to learn about the different constellations. Thanks to the computer and the red dot its been very easy to find every constellation i ever wondered about. great product, meade does it again.
Would recommend: Yes

great computer telescope-- easy to use!
I had only worked with manual scopes before, and this telescope purchase was a big step up. I love it! The red dot and focusing were so much more easier and useful. I was a little nervous about being able to work teh technology since I am not very computer savvy, but it was a breeze. Great job!
Pros: price was great, can do so much more than on manual
Cons: 9 mm was little harder to use, but got the hang of it

can't beat it
I am so happy to have bought this scope. I'm a beginner and the AutoStar star finder is really great. It takes some practice to use but I'm having great success in only 2 nights using it. Make sure it's very level and pointing to true North or you'll have trouble finding what you want.
Pros: AutoStar, easy to point, good overall quality
Cons: a little hard to level and point North but not too bad

great scope for the money
I can finally name more then one constellation (the infamous Ursa Major). The fact that this was a computerized telescope definetely played a part in the buying process. Overall i'm very glad for the quality and features that this Meade telescope provides for only $155

What stars?
Besides getting the wrong scope shipped out and not being able to open her christmas gift, My daughter finally got her scope after christams. Unfortunately, it never worked out of the box. What stars? We have a better view with the naked eye. It is now an eye sore/eye pleaser to visitors in our game room.
Pros: Looks good
Cons: Doesn't work

Frustrated
The telescope was ordered as a Chistmas gift. Although it arrived on time, the battery pak was defective. After several attempts, by February I received a new one. Unfortunately, it powers up(moves/rotates, etc), but there is still a problem (nothing is visible in the sky). Would it be possible to bring it somewhere to have it looked at? I'm hoping it could easily be rectified.
Thanks
Pros: Could be great
Cons: not working

For the money you can't beat it
For the money this telescope is hard to beat. Once you have aligned the telescope "Goto" a star or planet that you are familiar with. Once there hold down the enter key, then press the enter key again to sink up the telescope. This will help the computer know where in the sky it is and will make the Autostar more accurate. As far as I can tell the owners manual did not mention this option but it will help the navigation. Also, like most, the barow eyepiece doesn't work well. The 9mm eyepiece can also be difficult to get into focus. But for $149.00 this is a nice telescope for the backyarder.
Pros: Good visibility, easy to use. And you can see things that are very hard to see with a conventional telescope
Cons: Goto system is not perfect, but generally you can find the desired object with a little panning.

No good.
The telescope did not come columnated though the guide said it would. Never could get the mirrors to line up just right. Very cheaply made, but that's what you get for the price.
Cons: Did not come columnated
