" ... With the largest (least magnification) eyepiece coupled with the 2x barlow lens I could see the ring around Saturn. ... Very nice telescope . ... "
" ... Being an amateur astronomer I have some expertise in using a telescope. ... I did replace the red dot finder with a 6x30 finder scope. ... The view of double cluster in Perseus and Pleades cluster with wide angle eyepiece was magnificent. ... I noticed double stars were pinpoint without ghost image, so objective lens is adequate. ... Be aware that purchases of these better accessories will easily double cost of scope. ... "
