Review: Es un telescopio tipo Dobson; y es muy fácil de armar porque el instructivo es detallado e intuitivo. El hecho que traiga para instalar celular y usar una aplicación de sky map para visar objetos celestes, lo hace muy propio para personas principiantes en Astronomía. El aparato es muy bonito e imponente. Tks.
Review: Excellent value for money. Easy to set up. Very good quality. Comes with only one 25 mm eye-piece. Because of the height of my balcony railing, I couldn't bring the optical tube to horizontal position. So, I had to keep the base on a 1 foot high table.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What tripod is recommended for this telescope?**
A: You do not use a tripod for this telescope. It comes with a simple Alt-Az rocker mount. The design was created by John Dobson to create an easy way to do sidewalk astronomy.  While the mount doesn't track objects, the StarSense system provides an easy way to find objects and keep them in view.
That being said the only reason to use a tripod would be to do Deep Space long exposure photography and there are better options than this scope. But if you are really heart set on doing this you would need a mount that could handle the ~40 lbs of equipment (scope, camera, guide scope etc...). Something like the Skywatcher EQ6R-Pro at a minimum, but probably something meant for upto 70+ lbs of equipment like the EQ8R.

**Q: does the scope have a clock drive?**
A: No, no clock drive.

**Q: Can this be used for astrophotography?**
A: See my photo of the Orion Nebula. That's about as good as it will get with this scope. Without a tracking mount it does not work very well. Getting a tracking mount that will handle this 10 inch  OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) is net to impossible.

**Q: One question: judging from the size and arrangement it might be a difficult reach for my grandkids. Any thoughts?**
A: The eyepiece is about 3 feet off the ground. And varies depending on where it's pointed. It should be quite convenient. A step stool might help for comfort. I often use some kind of chair, stool or rug to make it more comfortable to use the eyepiece

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***W on 13 November 2024*

I LOVE this telescope! It's so easy to use, and the images are very, very good. I can see Galaxies, Nebula, start clusters! I did do a modification to the stand by adding leveling shop wheels to it to make it easier to move it on cement from my garage to my driveway. I bought the kind that has crankable feet, and you can crank the feet back up into the caster frame, so that it allows the wheels to move. I bought those here on Amazon. That was a game changer for cement moving. I also added a rubber, removable door ramp to match the lip size of my garage, and skateboard shock absorbtion pads to each wheel where it meets the stand wood. This is my FAVORITE Telescope! I also have a Skywatcher refractor.
