At the outset it has nothing particularly bad and not so good either. Looks just the common one available in the market. I settled for this mainly because it has all the must have features and the required accessories. Looks also trouble free with the warranty provided. This is basically for joint use with my bro and more often he compliments and I criticize. May be its worth paying for this well balanced product.
Brought a celestron powerseeker 76az telescope before christmas as a present unfortunately it had no instructions or cd rom. went back to the store to see what they could do and they suggested that i try on line. as things stand the telescope is useless.
