Mine is similar to Peter's but in the 12mm giving me a magnification of 235x.

The meade works fine but I know Mark Hodson had some constent problems with the illumination lines going all course and dissapearing.

Powered by 2 x small watch batteries...cheap only $1.50 each.
Most astronomy shops have them.
Mine was about $150
I align with a star fairly high in the sky...maybe within 20 degreez of Zenith.
