Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Some pros: For its price, an excellent tool that allows you to see many objects of both the solar system and deep space Has some cons the barlow lens that comes with the kit is not of very high quality, the store recommended buying not the plastic one that comes with the kit, but a metal one, but for a surcharge

Easy to use and shock resistant well above its weight class

I bought this telescope for my wife. It had to meet the following criteria: easy to use, not too heavy, easy to use, works well and. Easy to use. So, here's the good news. It's really easy to use.

Compared to a Dobsonian mount that goes exactly where you look. When you aim the scope, this alt-azimuth…

Amazing value for money

Meade Infinity 102mm Refractor Telescope Review: UPDATE 12 June 2016: I have since upgraded this Meade Infinity 102mm Refractor Telescope and now own it and have my 90mm Refractor Telescope Mead sold. Any mixed up reviews for different series of Meade Infinity is not good especially when I bought 2 different telescopes and have to use the same review to either rewrite or add to it, it's close to me and I think it's not like it should be. Anyhow, I received this Meade 102mm Telescope on Tuesday…
