    This telescope is great for gazing at the stars, moon, and other plants. A great tool for teaching our grandkids about our universe. The only small thing that I have noticed is the stand is a little unstable. But we are so very pleased with it's performance and quality.

    Comments about Meade 114EQ-ASTR Equatorial Reflector Telescope:

    I really enjoyed taking this scope out on my first night i got it. It was really clear outside. I looked at the moon and saw ever detail. It was almost if someone was walking on it, you would see it. I didn't get the chance to look at Saturn because i didnt know where to look. It is supposed to be cloudy for the next week so i am a little dissapointed. Over all thoe if this is your first scope for the price it's at you should totally get it!

    Comments about Meade 114EQ-ASTR Equatorial Reflector Telescope:

    This is my first telescope that I bought that wasnt the small ones you can get for $20 or $30 at walmart. I seen the rings saturn for the first time with good detail. There are only two things that I have ran into with it. The first in the eyepieces that come with dont work well with eyeglasses but most dont. The second is that even tight the bass still has a very little movement in it. It is a very good first telescope for the price.
