  2. from www.amazon.com

  2. from www.telescopes.com
    4.0 Stars poor eyepieces, unstable stand, and loose finder scope mount.
  3. from www.telescopes.com
    4.0 Stars to use, there were some screws that weren't tightened fully when the tube was assembled at the factory, and i needed to add some shim stock to the pivots points to reduce the wobble in the mount.
  4. from www.ritzcamera.com
    4.0 Stars decent german eq mount, a little shaky when focusing, but quickly stabilizes.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars once assembled it took about another 10 minutes to balance the scope on the mount.
