Hi

I have just purchased one (budget considerations) as I wanted a refractor to compare with my skywatcher 127. So far (and I have had limited time on it) the go to and setup which is all new to me is good. I plan to try some astrophotography with it later, however the tripod is awful and optics not as good as I had hoped.

The Meade Starnavigator 102 is a good starter telescope, but you will feel the need to upgrade later, telescope optics are good, ep's leave a little to be desired.
