 This telescope is big! October 31, 2005

I was very pleased when I got this telescope. It was BIG! I was very impressed that for the price one could get such a nice telescope. Hey, this scope cost less than my SLR camera. It really is a bargain. The construction seems very solid. The mount is a fair bit of a monster. Quite nice for such a large scope. The whole thing was straightforward to assemble and not at all challenging. Meade has made it a fair breeze really. The lens that came with it was ok, but not impressive. I would recommend taking the money you saved on this thing, and upgrading the lens. Even after that additional expense, the whole package is definitely worth the price. This is one impressive scope. I can't wait to get some more viewing time, because this scope shows a lot of stuff.
Keep in mind that this is a BIG scope. Unless you can heft the weight of this bad boy, I'd recommend something smaller. Upgrading to a power adapter or additional battery supply could be an early follow-up purchase for some. A T-mount for my SLR will be a soon one for me, so I can try out a little astrophotography.
I can't say enough about how much of a bargain this telescope is. You definitely get a lot of scope for the money. I only hope Meade can get it together and stay afloat. Because I think they are making some great products.
