🔭 Explore the Night Sky with the Zhumell Z100 Portable Altazimuth Reflector Telescope Review

So I took a base from Revain's recommendations and paired it with an Orion 52587 VersaGo E-Series Altazimuth Mount with Tripod. I was considering buying a 100mm Orion SkyScanner tabletop reflector, but found the viewfinder and focuser placement odd and poorly thought out. They've painted themselves into a corner focused on selling their Orion StarBlast AutoTracker altazimuth mount to mount on a small add-on rather than building something interoperable for Vixen's side-mounted tripods.

From what I've learned through research, Dobsonians are the way to go. It's the best value for money and this particular model doesn't deviate from that. When I bought it, I also bought a Celestron FirstScope. I decided to test both to see what works best for me. Both are fantastic telescopes for beginners. However, FirstScope
