   The telescope is well engineered and appears to have good optics.

   The final assembly was poor. I had to check every fastener on the scope and tighten several loose nuts and bolts, including on the mirror cell.

   It is well known that the included focuser is marginal at best. Budget accordingly.

   It arrived with very poor c

   ollimation, but I was able to get it collimated with minimal effort. It appears to hold collimation well.

   The packaging is inadequate. The foam box inserts were broken, and the scope shifted in transit. However, there was no shipping damage. The main mirror cover fell off in transit and the plastic bag was torn.

   Overall, I am pleased with the end result, especially for the price when compared to the alternatives. But do not expect to take this telescope out of the box and just start using it immediately.
