This review is from: Meade 114EQ-AR Equatorial Reflector (Electronics)

Good optical quality but very unstable mount. Fortunately, it is very portable so you can pick it up and walk around with it. I took some photos of the moon and venus. I have seen Jupiter and Saturn as well. I am not sure how to take other kinds of pictures, if there is an adapter for a digital camera. There may be some color filters that you can use with this also.
