Great telescope but it needs a real finderscope.
By doudou1229
This is a nicely built telescope overall, with included dual-axis motor drive and a pretty steady EQ mount. Its optics are pretty sharp too. For the price on Amazon, it's really a great deal.
However, my biggest problem with this is its red dot finder. I've used a large dobsonian for a long time, and it's crucial to have a good finderscope so you can navigate the night sky easily. Sometimes it's crucial for star hopping to a deep-sky object. However, the red dot finder does not have any magnification, making it useless for star hopping under urban sky. What's even more annoying is the battery powered red dot finder sometimes is so bright that it makes it harder to find objects. The two dark circles that are supposed to help locate the object in the center of the finder can't be easily seen at night. Celestron should seriously consider using an ordinary 7x50 finderscope on this otherwise great telescope.

Astro Mmaster 130EQ MD
By Berksglh
Nice Scope for the price. decent optics. Tripod is a bit flimsy, there is some play in one axis (loose gear mesh). Motor drive can't be engaged at any position, and is sometimes hard to get at the screw to do so.
Was hoping for more viewing power to see the planets, Saturn is a fuzzy dot with a line through it, and the 1.25" focuser is to small for good camera use.
Wishing I would have bought a larger scope, with a 2" focusing system, and better mount and tripod.
But it is a decent entry level scope, and not overly expensive.

Unusable
By Left Ear of Corn
Finderscope is so terrible and unusable that the entire telescope can be used only by randomly looking around. At least it was (relatively) cheap. I suppose buying more eye pieces would make finding objects easier, but I didn't expect to have to do that right away in order for the product to be usable.
