Meade ETX-70AT (240 x 70mm) Telescope

Good value for a begining Astronomer. The GoTo feature is very helpful to find your way around the Universe.

On note of caution to beginners. The object size, in ALL amature telescopes, is much smaller than what one expects. If possible look through a friends scope or seek out a club and try out what they have before you spend money and might be disappointed. Again, this is true of all telescopes under the $5,000 to $10,000 range.

the scope works just fine. My girl freind love it! this is a gift for her.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although of modest aperature, this is one of the greatest "grab and go" scopes available. It is easily portable, quite easy to set up and moving about the heavens is a breeze. The only thing I don't like about it, and other Meade smaller scopes, is the small finderscope, or lack of one. I'm partial to Telrad finders and will end up mounting a base on this one.

We were very pleased with our purchase from this seller. It was for my wife's Xmas present and
the scope was well packaged with all the paperwork. We are new to the ebay experience and were
very pleased with this purchase. Thank you! David
