  1. from www.telescopes.com
    4.0 Stars the menu items on the hand-held are a little confusing at first so make sure you review the instruction manual regarding the alignment procedure options.
  2. from www.telescopes.com
    4.0 Stars (i will write another review if i buy the baader hyperion click zoom.)if this is your first scope, take some time to learn the constellations, get a star finder or you wont know where to look.
