Very Nice

Pros: Slewing is excellent, views are terrific. Price is right.
Cons: You will need dark skies for very faint deep space objects.
This is a real nice scope that gives nice clean views. I'd prefer a bit more aperature (who wouldn't) but for the price you will get some very nice viewing. Even in my backyard with the five street lights bleaching things out I can still get good detail on some of the brighter deep space objects. Under dark skies they come through beautifully.
The tracking is spot on if you take the time to correctly align the mount. I recommend using as many alignment stars as you can. I use five and it will slew cleanly to the objects and track well.
This is a great first scope for people who are looking for their first "true telescope" (not a bargain basement special) as it offers a good balance of price, functionality, and quality.
