My telescope journey has been a long one. I originally owned an Orion 8” dobsonian and a Skywatcher 150i. Both amazing bits of kit and I loved them. Fate took a twist and I now have to use a wheelchair for the majority of the day making my two scopes pretty obsolete for me.
Fortunately I found the Startravel. It’s absolutely perfect to use with my wheelchair. The tripod allows me to sit wherever I want to reach the eyepiece and the slow motion controls are fantastic, I’ve never used these before and was very impressed. Putting the scope together took about twenty minutes and that’s only because I was taking my time and checking everything five times. Even on these summer nights there’s plenty to see and can’t wait for the cold nights and clear skies.
From the time of order to receiving the telescope was Sunday to Tuesday morning, so brilliant service from First Light, and many thanks.

Received Telescope boxed and packaged well. Instruction Manual, self assembly, good assembly instructions, showing diagrams. Very pleased with the service from First light Optics. Great first telescope and good quality.

Excellent short tube scope at the price! Almost no CA - and photoshop can fix it if it is. Waiting for a clear sky!
