Summary: Superb Value
Review: I recently bought this compact Maksutkov-Cassegrain (Mak-Cass) telescope for my family, and as soon as I unwrapped it from the packaging, I was impressed by the obvious quality of the item. Having already browsed the cheapie telescopes in the various department stores and sporting goods stores, I realized that for only a little more money, I was getting a far superior telescope. The scope itself is extremely compact and, when broken down into its component parts, it and its attached accessories fit neatly and easily into a bag quite similar to a hand-held videocamera's tote bag. I would highly recommend this scope to anyone just getting into stargazing - if you're going to spend a hundred bucks for a cheap scope, save up a few hundred more and spring for one whose quality in comparison to the cheapie scopes is like a Lexus to a Yugo.
