Hi,

It's very hard to say, you may be lucky but if its a wobbly mount and a spherical mirror with cheap eyepieces then it may be a piece of junk. Without looking at it who knows?

It has a very fast focal ratio so would probably have very poor viewing at the edge of the view.

Go and check out andrewscom.com.au and the guang sheng scopes. They are a bit more expensive but in general very good quality for what you pay.

A 200mm dob is $299 and you get better eyepieces.
