3) My friend is saying last year he paid around $800 usd for this , now the market price is $129 usd is it true?

Any help is appriciated..
Thanks in advance
1) No I wouldn't recommend this telescope, you would be better off saving
some more dollars and going for 6" or 8" dob. You will find certain things like
the wobbly mount/tripod a frastrating to use. Actually you do better buying
a pair bino's for that price.

2) Read answer to Q 1

3) How well do you kinow this friend??? I think he is conning you.

regards,CS
