I purchased this scope to be a 3rd scope to use for quick views of the Moon and planets instead of dragging out my more expensive telescopes. It is more than adequate for this task. It is not an Apo by no means but it is better constructed than cheaper scopes out there that are geared towards kids. There is some plastic on the scope but it does not give the scope a cheap feel. The glass is well coated and good quality. The views are sharp with little false color on objects like the Moon. I was able to check out the first quarter Moon and noted a slight hint of false color on the limb but it was not obtrusive at all. Saturn was sharp and I could easily make out the rings and one of its moons. Overall I am pleased with the scopes performance and it is worth the price. Vixen makes a great scope and this scope would make a great first scope for the beginner or additional scope for the serious Amateur Astronomer.
