Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Meade 114 EQ-ASTR Equatorial Reflector
Customer Review: Not a refractor
Summary: 5 Stars
The only problem (if you can call it that) is that this telescope, while listed as a refractor scope, is actually a reflector telescope. If you're looking for a refractor telescope you'll have to look elsewhere.
This was easy to assemble; it took us all of 15 minutes. That's not bad, since no one in my family has ever used a telescope. If you know what you're doing it can probably be put together in a fraction of that time.
We purchased this item as a birthday gift for my seven-year-old. He loves it, and is eager to learn about astronomy.
