I have the same scope with Orion written on the side of it.
It does a good job for what it is, but Im not getting much use out of it as theirs not enough aperture to punch the magnification up to overcome light polution. From a dark sky site the wide field views are glorious with pin sharp stars in good seeing. I guess I was being spoiled by 10 inches of aperture.

Janos what are you planning to mount it on ? Did you order a diagonal too ?
