Review: Es un telescopio tipo Dobson; y es muy fácil de armar porque el instructivo es detallado e intuitivo. El hecho que traiga para instalar celular y usar una aplicación de sky map para visar objetos celestes, lo hace muy propio para personas principiantes en Astronomía. El aparato es muy bonito e imponente. Tks.
Review: Excellent value for money. Easy to set up. Very good quality. Comes with only one 25 mm eye-piece. Because of the height of my balcony railing, I couldn't bring the optical tube to horizontal position. So, I had to keep the base on a 1 foot high table.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What tripod is recommended for this telescope?**
A: You do not use a tripod for this telescope. It comes with a simple Alt-Az rocker mount. The design was created by John Dobson to create an easy way to do sidewalk astronomy.  While the mount doesn't track objects, the StarSense system provides an easy way to find objects and keep them in view.
That being said the only reason to use a tripod would be to do Deep Space long exposure photography and there are better options than this scope. But if you are really heart set on doing this you would need a mount that could handle the ~40 lbs of equipment (scope, camera, guide scope etc...). Something like the Skywatcher EQ6R-Pro at a minimum, but probably something meant for upto 70+ lbs of equipment like the EQ8R.

**Q: does the scope have a clock drive?**
A: No, no clock drive.

**Q: Can this be used for astrophotography?**
A: See my photo of the Orion Nebula. That's about as good as it will get with this scope. Without a tracking mount it does not work very well. Getting a tracking mount that will handle this 10 inch  OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) is net to impossible.

**Q: One question: judging from the size and arrangement it might be a difficult reach for my grandkids. Any thoughts?**
A: The eyepiece is about 3 feet off the ground. And varies depending on where it's pointed. It should be quite convenient. A step stool might help for comfort. I often use some kind of chair, stool or rug to make it more comfortable to use the eyepiece

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***R on 18 May 2023*

So I have been looking for a new Dobsonian for a while. Either 10 to 12 inch. This one as a just the telescope is really good. I have had it for a month at the time of this writing. I had it fully assembled in an hour, hour and a half. Setting up for observation is very easy. This is a bit heavy but it is a 10 inch, so it will be. It has handles for easy pick up and short carry. It only comes with 1 single eyepiece, a 25 mm. It will get you started but you might be disappointed as just a novice going, well that's it? And be pretty underwhelmed. I highly recommend getting the Celestron – 1.25” Eyepiece and Filter Accessory Kit to go with this. With the eyepieces and filters in this kit you can see the rings of Saturn and polar ice caps on Mars. Also deep sky objects like nebula will appear. So the Scope itself is great in that regard. The Star sense software, honestly I have given up on it. never really got it to work. I get everything aligned and it says point to a patch of sky and it will figure out where it is. Never did for me. I even tried pointing it right at the big dipper and nope has no idea where it is. Sometimes the software glitches out and all I get on my phone is a white screen. I figure out how to solve it. Delete all the application data, which is a very large database. Then redownload it. However, then even though you must log in to the app you still have to enter your license code. Which, if this happens when your at a dark sky park or something your SOL. Again I never got it to work to find anything I did enjoy the explanations and so on of object in the night sky you can just use search feature in the app. So while the scope is very good. I wouldn't necessarily buy it for the Starsense software though. It comes with another software for your desktop or laptop. This software has a lot of potential but is very clunky. It really needs a lot of refinement to be useful. So in end, just to reiterate the scope, and the quality of the scope is great. I will honestly be using it for decades. It is a great 10 inch Dobsonian. You do need some lenses and filters. Which again, any telescope in this price range your going to need some better lenses, this is where they save money. The stand is great and actually built to last a while. The software, not the greatest. However, software can be updated and upgraded. It may get way better, or it may never improve again. Time will tell on that. To me though, I have just as much fun finding the objects up there. So just as a functional Dobsonian, It is great.
