Just got one for my grand nephew. Here's what I found.
Optics very good to at least 240x, at least where I live, cause I ran it up that high with a 5mm BO/TMB to test it out, on Saturn. Object locator accurate enough to put searched for object in FoV of 25mm TV Plossl. Azimuth motion is still bad, but there are easy fixes, I understand. Balance is fine unless you put a lot of accessories or huge eyepieces in it, I would think. I had no problem with the 24mm Panoptic or 10mm Pentax XW. And last, putting the tube in the rocker is easy, just pay attention. I haven't messed anything up in it yet! Great buy, suggest if you want it, get it.
