from www.telescopes.com
(i do not work with meade, or telescopes.com.)this is an amazing scope.
from www.telescopes.com
the auto align fails alot..i'm going to call meade.
from www.telescopes.com
this is my second scope from meade and the lenses are interchangeable.
from www.telescopes.com
a small item (but a good indicator of quality) was that the meade sticker on the side of the mount clamp was upside down.
from www.telescopes.com
thus, i am left with either a completely nonfunctional telescope or i can have a completely unaligned one.i returned the base/computer/arm to meade for replacement and was sent another dud.
