The aperture is a little small, that Barlow is next to useless (in my opinion). If your looking around I would advise at least 6"

.....and if thats an EQ1 mount it will be a bit wobbly..

To add to it's "issues" I think it's a catadioptric design too - that means a corrector lens at the bottom of the focuser drawtube and these scopes are rather awkward to collimate.

Not really a bargain I reckon.

Agreed, theres better to be had out there
