Quality product at a competitive price I bought this refractor after extensive on line research unfortunately the weather hasn't allowed much use butI am impressed with the quality of both the OTA and the mount. The ease with which the mount can be set up and polar aligned is also a blessing. Delivery was on time (13/08/2023) - Hull. East Yorkshire
