Great Scope!
By A Customer
This scope gives incredible views. I haven't noticed any extra color, even on bright objects. I have viewed inside and outside the solar system and have been amazed at all the views. This is now my favorite scope that I own. It's ready to go at a moments notice, no collimation, minor setup and you are viewing. Saturn's rings are no problem, Jupiter's moons, easy. The mount is extremely stable. I can't say enough about this scope. At any price, this scope is well worth it, for it to be less than $300 makes it the best bargain out there.

By Robert M. Oreilly
Right off the bat, Yeah, I`m a beginner but I have had in my lifetime 3 of the department store variety of telescopes that easily cost 150.00 or better and they will never be anything like this Orion Astroview. Hear this. I tracked a jumbo jet you could barely see with the naked eye except for the vapor trail with the slow motion control for 15 seconds and it was awesome. Saw it from almost a head on view and could see all the engines wings and tail wing with clarity I couldn`t believe. Joked with my brother that I could see the pilot picking his nose. ( Kidding of course ). This with a barlow lense. It sucks that I work nights and have to hope for clear weekends but let me tell you the price for this kind of viewing can`t be beat as far as I`m concerned. I`m going to take it to my brother`s this weekend and show him how to polar align the scope then watch his expression when he sees Saturn. I bet he`ll want one. I bet he`ll get one.

My fiance bought this for me for christmas after much research and I think this is probably the best refractor unless you jump way up the price point. The tracking is great I don't know why others are saying its rough. Unless you plan on hooking up expensive astrophotography equipment which costs more than the telescope you wont notice or have any issue with this telescope. Also the picture is so clear and crisp! Everything feels very solid and well made. Im very glad I ended up with this scope. Best future wife ever!
