Pros: GoTo Controller. PC Interface Control. Ability to update controller from PC.
Cons: Smallish aperture for deep sky viewing. Can get pricey!
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you are an intermediate to serious astronomer. If you live in a bright area and want deep-sky viewing, you'll need

Pros: Light weight, portable, easy to use.
Cons: Expensive, requires add ons.
The Bottom Line: If you want a scope for a lifetime, and are interested in observing more than the moon and bright planets, get a bigger scope.

Pros: Small, light, good optics.
Cons: shaky mount
The Bottom Line: I recommend this telescope for those doing casual astronomical viewing of bright objects, and terrestial viewing. The mount is too shaky for serious use.

Cons: difficult to use, poor quality plastic mount, drive noise
