Customer Review: Diappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this telescope several years ago and was pretty excited to be able to have something to look at the stars and the moon with. I used it once back in 04-05 and then it sat in a closet until recently. I pulled it out to go look at the moon with friends and come to find out that the workmanship on the unit was pathetic. The focus mechanism was stripped so it would not go in or out without additional assistance, plus the Autostar unit wouldn't turn....it would move the telescope up and down, but not from side to side....pretty sad that I paid $200-300 for this unit and by the second use it was already worthless. Yeah you can use it manually, but by the time you focus in the lens, you've lost what you were looking at. Very shoddy workmanship.
Description of Meade DS2070AT Telescope
Skillfully observing the many visible stars and planets in the sky can be daunting for the beginner and trying for even the intermediate amateur astronomer, but the Meade DS-2070AT telescope makes the task easy with the Autostar computer controller system. You can locate any astronomical object by entering it into the keypad; electric motors then align the telescope to display the object. The Autostar's catalog includes 74 galaxies, 135 star clusters, 26 asteroids, and the 8 major planets, for a total of 1,586 objects that you can view.You can store up to 200 objects in the memory for an immediate go-to function. Digital readouts display the telescope?s position in both radians and decimal form. Oversize bearings and locks on both of the telescope?s axes eliminate imprecisions of movement that are common to lesser telescopes.
With a 70mm diameter and a focal length of 700mm, the multicoated, color-corrected objective lens increases image contrast and light transmission. The 5x24mm viewfinder and 1.25-inch diameter eyepiece makes viewing comfortable and free of any eye strain. Also included are an aluminum tripod with a fold-up accessory shelf and astronomy software on CD-ROM.
