Andrew, it is not so much the optics, but everything else that goes with it that will make it a disappointment...

I would steer away from such package and look into the Orion line of scopes, which I'm sure will give you a much better result for your money.

And please forget about GOTO for that little money... concentrate in a good overall package without the bells & whistles, you'll be happier in the end.

Check this one out, I would recommend it... (ATWB - NEW)

And also, you can find it here... (USED, in good condition)
