Everything l Needed... Exvellent solution to my needs. I was having extreme difficulty locating the minor planets with a regilar set up. But, the 130PS Az-GTI solved the problem immediately. Nice image from the parabolic mirror. Easy set up and use. Very pleased. (09/05/2020) Barry Cooper - South Yorkshire
Great 1st Telescope I'm a beginner with telescopes and after much research I decided on this model. I liked the simplicity of the Wifi mount along with the App on my phone. So far it has been brilliant and easy to look into the night sky. Easy to set up and view, just stock up on batteries!! Excellent service too. (20/10/2018) Tania - Essex
Great telescope with amazing "GoTo" facility Bought this as my first telescope after a lot of internet research. Have not been disappointed. Great scope that will see me well beyond the "beginner" phase. The wi-fi "Go To" is amazing and a great help for a beginner. Simple and quick to set up. Ordered in the morning and delivered the next day. (20/07/2018) -
