This was my first telescope.. As an Astronomer by education...i had to choose what my first tool was going to be ..that's when Celestron was suggested 130EQ!! So about this Time Machine(Telescope)! If you have a curiosity and want to start star gazing this would be the perfect Telescope for you..

I live in the north central region of the US near the Great Lakes. I have an engineering background and was a surveyor for over 10 years. Also, I'm an accomplished amateur photographer.
