Title: First Telescope
Product review: I bought this telescope as an entry into astronomy to learn a bit more with actual viewing, but not to spend too much money in case I found I was not really interested. I liked being able to buy it with free shipping within the US. I have only used it a few times due to overcast weather, but have seen the Moon, Jupiter and it's moons, Uranus and three Messier objects. The Messier objects were only visible as dim clouds due to there being too much light from street lighting. I used the computerized guidance system and it works as advertized and was able to slew onto the Messier objects. I think it has filled the purpose and is a good platform for understanding the problems of astronomical observing, in case I want to get deeper into it. I took a picture of the Moon with a regular digital camera and was surprised at how well it came out.
