Like I said-Wow! Now thats been said,I will say this, I didn't need a scope like this. As an avid beginner this telescope is way out of my league! Now that I have it though I do love it. I bought this to upgrade from a much smaller reflector but I now have to keep both as the C-10 isn't something that's easily transported or positioned. I will now have to learn the 'scope and all its computer gizmos, so all is not lost, now I will graduate to a higher level of astonomer!

This scope is not for kids or the faint of heart. Sure its heavy but the veiw is worth it. I live 8 miles from down-town Dallas.Very light polluted but this scope pulls in the photons.If you want to see jaw dropping sights this is the scope.

This is a great scope. I wanted the 10" mirror, which made me go with the reflector instead of the 8" NextStar.

The cons to that is it is heavy, needs to be assembled in 3 pieces, and of course the inconvenient location of the focuser on ANY newtonian.

However, it is worth the trade off in my opinion, and this scope feels well made, computer finds objects well, and the TWO INCH eyepiece capability is INCREDIBLE!. I tried my first 2" eyepiece in this scope and was floored at how much more relief on my eye it is. They don't really advertise that this scope is 2" and 1.25" capable.

If a newtonian is your choice, this is a great scope and the price is very reasonable. I dunno why the Orion competitor is so much more money.
