Anyone who has been to a star party and looked through a well made 16" telescope will appreciate how amazing the views are through a telescope this large.
Objects you can only glimpse in an 8" telescope you will go back to again and again and still see more detail not observed before.
Get together with your friends and see how many galaxies you can see in one field of view!
A 16" Meade Lightbridge will change your life.

Eyepiece: Meade Series 4000 QX 26mm (2" 70°wide field)
