4.0 out of 5 stars Great scope!
This scope is a good one. I've had a 3.5" refractor but this one is a fine improvement from it and provides great views and good clarity. Have only used the supplied 25mm eyepiece but it works well for all around viewing. Am pleased with the scope and it is well made.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's an Ok scope.
The scope is ok for daytime use. For me the image is a little fuzzy. Night time use is not advised. Have problems with lights turning into "star points". There are probably better scopes available.

5.0 out of 5 stars First telescope, November 2, 2011

This review is from: Orion Apex 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope (Electronics)
I like this telescope. It's quite sturdy and compact. It's made well and using it my first night out was very simple. The supplied eyepiece gives a good resolution of Jupiter, you can see individual bands and moons with out difficulty. All in all, its a very fine little telescope. The EQ2 mount that you might consider getting in addition to this is not so great. I'd look for a different mount, but as far as the telescope goes it works fine.

Nicely portable, great little travel case, perfect for backyard viewing. Nice adjunct to larger, heavier scope.
