Comment:
I’m glad I was able to return this. Thank you Amazon! I bought this telescope as a Christmas gift to the family. I spent a couple of weeks learning about equatorial mounts, how to collimate, and how to set up this telescope. So you could say I was excited! Opening this, I was disappointed to realize that it was somewhere between a toy and Chinese junk. Right off I was missing a knob. It was so out of alignment that mirrors didn’t align to see. Tripod was ridiculously flimsy and thinly walled. I should have known better. A telescope with these features and size should cost $300-400. I read Amazon reviews and was influenced until I started reading on Stargazing forums and saw a repetitive history of bad experiences. I probably will not buy another product from Celestron. But I did order a replacement from Orion thru Amazon.
