Hi,
It's a good choice, why
Pro's
1. Inexpensive, for what you get
2. ED is far better than an achromat
3. Focal length is suitable for a beginner; and for widefield
4. Complete, comes with tube rings, finder, dovetail, 2 inch focuser suitable for DSLR's
5. Proven performer, just look around the posts here, lots of people have one and are happy
Con's
1. A bit heavy, but no problem on say an EQ5 or better
2. Definately needs a field flattener, but you can crop
3. Not sure if it comes with a 10:1 fine focusser, for photos this is bordering on a necessity, but you can focus a camera without one.
3. It's no Takahashi or Televue for visual as there is a lot of field curvature, but for 30% of the price what do you expect.
