Thanks to all!

I haven't had the chance to fully test it (Winters here in Lima are too cloudy), but I can tell the optics are very good for it's size. I am only dissapointed with the eyepieces, which are not very confortable and are very dark. I tried the telescope with a 0.965" from surplusshed that I use in a finderscope and it gives much better views. I believe a converter from 0.965" to 1.25" will be a best buy soon.
