Imo its probably not good. I imagine since its low priced for a 150mm newt that its gonna have cheap issues elsewhere. Primarily the mount, eyepieces, and heck even the mirror quality themselves.

#

A tabletop dob like the skywatcher heritage is ~the same price and has better quality control

I am also sharing my thoughts because I also was in your position at one point and ended up buying a newt for even more than that (now up to $400) that was still really bad most the time.

#

Of course, if any professional wants to give better insight, please do so.

Considering the price of that 150mm its probably got a spherical mirror

#

Paired with a cheap mount it's not going to be fun to use
