Hey guys been suggested this as a next scope as my budget is £300 and I wanted a nice scope on a GoTo mount

Any information on this scope e.g anyone have this scope or have used it and can offer me advice on it's performance before I go ahead and purchase it please ?

Thanks

Hi Scott

I recently sold one, make sure it's level, if you connect to laptop make sure the port numbers are the same in the control panel, also if you want to use stellarium make sure the port number in stellarium is the same as it is in the device manager, you will need complete the line up process before you can connect to laptop, other than that its great entry level scope. you can  upgrade the lenses to 2" nice option.

Hey thanks for that

What would I need to connect the scope to the laptop ?
