What people say

Michael 4.6

The 102AZ refractor is great for looking at the moon, and the smartphone adapter let me take clear photos of the craters.

Wayne 5.0

I set up the 114EQ in the backyard for my kids, and the equatorial mount made it much easier to track objects as they moved.

Peter 4.5

The PowerSeeker 80AZS is a nice short-tube model that is easy to pack up for weekend trips.
