While i like the quality of the telescope, i was disappointed in the dvd.
Nb these adjustments cannot be done with the right ascension and declination knobs!
Price
This is my first telescope and for the price i’m very impressed.
Overall, i am content with it considering the price.
What i can't figure out is the price.

Packaging/appearance
I know everyone talks about collimating it but for me it worked perfectly right out of the box.
The biggest issue i have had was a wobble in the focuser.
Competitiveness
- if you're a first-time telescope buyer like i was, you simply won't be disappointed.

While extending the focuser it will slightly but noticeably shift right and then back left and while fully extended it can be made to move back and forth

This definitely made collimating the scope more difficult before i caught on to the problem

For some reason i had better luck with saturn using the high power lens with the faint equatorial belts and cassinis division visible along with occasional glimpses of tethys and rhea along with mighty titan
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The equatorial mount is adequate with minor vibrations dampening out well within one second

On the down side the best thing that can be said about the included barlow lens is that it makes a marginally useful paperweight
