Title: Tolerable sight, but just tolerable
Product review: In keeping with Meade's tradition of providing marginal sights for their ETX series of telescopes the 827 provides a tolerable sighting capability for the ETX 70 but suffers from poor construction and optical quality. With a bracket that utilizes the non standard mount holes of the 70 the sight provides a right angle sight (an improvement from their straight through sights). The sight will fall apart as you mount it and will require gluing to put back together. The crosshair will exhibit distortion. Usable but nowhere near the quality of an Orion sight of the same cost.
