A lot disappointed. - Review by Fraser Harrison
G'day all, I'm going to do a review on the MAK102EQ2,
As a first telescope, when I first received it, I was a little scared to put it together, the instructions were a little on the cheap printing side, not much detail at all.
Once I had it together, I found it a little hard to move around quite heavy but I managed to work everything out.
That night, I headed outside to view the planets and the moon, the only thing you can really focus on, is the moon, you can't really see much else, as for the price I spent on it, I would of expected a little better, it was easy to focus everything worked fine, the micro adjustment's worked well too.
Viewing the planets like Jupiter you can see the planet, not in very good detail at all, probably discouraged me from wasting time pointing it at Jupiter. As for other planets, I have yet to see any, Saturn is just a coloured blur.
The price for what you get is pretty blunt for what you get, I am going to be selling this telescope very soon for like, $300. Might buy another!
I would like to write more, but I have to go. Good bye all! (Posted on 11/12/11)
