It is a fine telescope for visual observations and with 1.2m focal length and 150 mm aperture will deliver many exciting views of the night sky. The telescope is only about 4 years old, and the mirror is in pristine condition, as is the telescope.

I have even used it a while ago for my first attempts at astrophotography with Orion G3 and HEQ5- see the pictures attached. However, for successful astrophotography you would need a more accurate mount than included EQ3 and the focuser is very basic.
