Bought this scope in January, and have not had much outdoor use with it yet, but for what I have used it for, it has went above and beyond, my expectations! What I need to do next, is to purchase more lenses, to maximize my viewing potential. I designed a webcam holder, to watch my telescope, via computer, and the images are crisp, and thank you Optics Planet, and SkyWatcher, for providing me, a man of 51 years young, with a telescope of my childhood dreams.
Pros: Easy to move around, and images very clear!
Cons: None yet!

This scope is amazing. I had an issue with a missing base, and honestly I gave a pretty bad review of Optics Planet. However my issue was resolved very well and quickly by a customer service rep named Brett. Nothing is perfect in this world, things happen, and my first review was out of frustration.
Anyway on to the scope. It's awesome! Very easy to colimate, not heavy to move, great stock eyepieces. However I would recommend trying some 2 inch wide angle eyepieces. So much easier to use than an EQ mount. For those who are more into observing than astrophotagraphy, I would highly recommend this scope.
Would recommend: Yes
