Quality


Aside from that, the quality of this scope is amazing.


This is my first telescope, and i am more than pleased with the quality of the scope with great views of the planets, orion neb...  Read More


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.


I wouldn't go any higher in price until you know you enjoy it.

Shipping


I do take it to work when i am somewhere overnight, and it still takes me a bit to adjust it for the new location, but getting ...  Read More

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.


The good-the optics on the meade polaris are crisper than anything you can find at this price point.


I prefer a good set of 10x50 binoculars that were recommended by my astronomy professor as opposed to a travel telescope.

    I love the telescope but the red dot spotting scope lens arrived cracked


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It sill works but it s broken

    The biggest issue i have had was a wobble in the focuser


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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