Very good bang for the buck
I bought this as my first telescope to explore the sky and I am VERY pleased. It's a high quality scope and the mount and tripod are the kind you get with higher end models. Mine came with an incorrect piece I contacted the Celestron and I had a new piece in 3 days. Very nice service. I to had problems finding stars at first so I went to an astronomy forum and found out the correct way to do it. From there I haven't had a problem finding anything.
The 2 main things are 1) calibrate your finder first and 2) use the right eye piece when looking for something (this scope comes with a 10mm and a 20mm so you would want to use the 20 to find and 10 to magnify once you found what it is your looking for). I have found Astronomy is not a hobby where you can easily learn stuff through trial and error and most frustration comes when you try just that.
The only thing it's lacking is an eyepiece that goes to it's full magnification. I'm buying a 5mm for this but if they included that they would have to up the price. So all in all this in my opinion is the best bang for the buck telescope out there for beginners on a budget!More detail ...
