Scope has performed well over the years. Optical quality still impresses many of my astronomy friends. Mechanical quality suffers some to creaking and popping sound when making major push-to adjustments which can be quite annoying from time to time. After going through several defective Object Locator Keypads, I got one that works pretty well. Nevertheless, as others have commented regarding the Keypad information window: it is often hard to read and most unreadable when it scrolls through the details of a certain object of interest. I originally had an 8 inch Intelliscope that had a flawless Keypad. Since then, I've never been able to get my hands on one like that.
Favorite viewing location: Where the skies are good and dark
Favorite object to observe: Globular Clusters
Yes, I recommend this product!
