      I live in a rural area and got the telescope for a birthday gift. I love everything about it. I also got the Zhumell lens kit with it and the barlow is great. The filters are very handy as well. I have had it out every clear night since recieving it last week and love it.

      Comments about Meade DS-2130 AT-TC Reflector Telescope - ULTIMATE PACKAGE:

      This telescope blown me away! It's my first telescope experience ever so I can't give much technical insight about it. But over all, the quality of picture I get is really neat. It's kinda heavy and the allignment wasn't as easy as I thought at first. Once you study some constellations and stars name you will be just fine, naturally. I am still enjoying just looking at them and soon I am goig to try to take some pics attaching my camera. Definitely a great buy.
