Yeah but isn't it better since it's a motorized eq that comes with a Barlow lenses and a camera attachment for like $40 more?
toxic moon
Once again i don't know how good that motor is, so i can't say about that. I also don't think it comes with a barlow? They both seem to come with 2 eyepieces. And for visual use you don't need an eq mount. It's wobbly and annoying to use.
You can either wait or #🤓-ask-a-nerd about the motor

You think I could've gotten something better for the same or a similar price?
steep berry
Maybe would have saved for a 6" but if you couldn't it's np i guess
I would've but this will be my first real telescope and I didn't want to spend like $600 and not use it very much
