Don't bother with this thing. A 76mm Newtonian is a fail, due to its tiny primary mirror + the central obstruction which reduces contrast, resolution and light gathering to those of an even smaller instrument, plus these micro dobs are impossible to use unless you have a *sturdy* table or stool to place it on. You could make legs for it, but thats extra cost and effort.
If you want a telescope in the $200 range, Andrews has a Skywatcher 114mm EQ Newtonian for $199 and a 130mm for $249. Haven't personally experienced these scopes first hand, and I recommend you talk to someone who has used these scopes before taking the plunge.
cheers.
