    Bought this as a grab-and-go for my backyard, instead of setting up my larger reflector scope. In a very high light polluted area, Bortle 6, it has delivered several nice objects down to about magnitude 5. Clear views and easy to use. After some fiddling I got the go-to to work reasonably well, but for beginners goto is lot more critical to set up and use accurately than the manufacturers will admit. Mine seems to come out a little low but its consistent and is just a matter of more adjustment in setup. The "creep after beep" problem is very real, especially with eyepieces less than 9 mm or so. But fixes for this are well documented and with a little more fiddling one can obtain a reasonable stability. The only negative I would give it, and this is more bothersome than anything else, is that the focus knob is just set up too fine, and has to be cranked continuously to adjust for each change in eyepiece -- its bothersome enough that I dont use the flip up 2x, rather I just switch to a smaller eyepiece when I want a better view. The supplied eyepieces, 26, and 9.7 are just right giving 15 and 45 mag respectively, and adding a 6 for 66mag, and possibly a 3 or 4 to take it to max mag of 120 rounds out the set and saves a whole lot of cranking. Its so good I'm thinking of selling my 114mm reflector and investing in a ETX127 or a Celestron C6 with more modern electronics. Excellent bang for the buck!

    The only issue I had is the battery door cover was missing. Other than that all else is good so far.
