          Simple setup

          I just received this Telescope a few days ago. It is really simple to setup. The Moon views are awesome, as I'm able to view it in good detail. It comes with 3 different Eyepieces, so I'm able to achieve different magnifications. Ultimately, I wanted a beginner-friendly Scope with GoTo functionality for automatically tracking objects. Thanks to the team at RCT for the great recommendation.
