Nice sized scope that is easy to disassemble, load into a small car and not a major strain on the lower back to carry. From a really dark site it gives great views. Never forget the night I had at the south pacific star party with the Meade. I saw objects I could only photograph before. Make sure you get a laser collimator. I have an Orion one which is adequate for the job.
