Always been fascinated by these little compact reflector designs, but have no direct experience.

Here's what I found:-

I think you should also get the 25mm eyepiece if it only comes with the 8mm.

Don't expect much. Think Moon, Jupiter's Moons, maybe Saturn, some brighter globulars, nebulae. Find someone with tools so it can be collimated.

Also OK for terrestrial spotting? WATCH OUT FOR THE SUN.

Can it be found cheaper? Amazon seems to have no access to stock?
