I have this telescope with the goto system. I've been very happy with it - light enough to move easily, and the views are pretty good. I was pleasantly suprised the first time I looked through it. I am clearly an amateur who is mostly interested in the pretty pictures I see through through the glass, and this scope serves me very well. If you want to try it before you buy, and you are ever in Utah County, you are welcome to look through mine. Nate S.
