Really Smart Telescope Delivery was excellent and communication from Harrison’s was fast. This telescope is really easy to set up, comes completed out of the box with no set up required. It does need a power pack or batteries, but once I’d popped 8 batteries in I was up and running within minutes. (17/10/2023) Paul - Manchester

Quick delivery, good price Best price I could find, 'Scope delivered quickly. Harrison's advice very helpful when an issue arose that turned out to be inadequate power supply. 'Scope working fine, once collimated, although first light delayed owing to combination of wife's illness and inevitable clouds. (03/07/2022) Steve Penny - Kent
SKYWATCHER HERITAGE 150P VIRTUOSO GTI WIFI DOBSONI Overall, a great wi-fi go-to mount with a Skywatcher Heritage 150P reflector scope. Generally pleased but wasn't aware of the focusing system on this scope, isn't mentioned in the description and had I known, would have chosen another scope. Harrisons Telescopes gave efficient and prompt service. (01/05/2022) Malcolm Thompson - South WalesOur Reply: Apologies - we have now added the focuser type within the description and specifications.
Easy to use telescope Easy to set up and use. Seems like a great telescope for beginners. After a couple of common modifications to enhance use ,away you go. (07/12/2021) -
