I've used one of these before.... 127 mak is generally a good little scope optically and the slt goto mount is easy to use but requires power to operate. The tripod is a little weak but keep it set low and hang some weight from the accessory tray and it'll be OK..be gentle with the focusser to minimise vibration. The upside is the lightweight tripod and compact scope makes a portable system.
