This scope out performs my other smart scope when it comes to larger nebulae.I got great photos of the Eastern and Western Veils and the North America Nebula. The field of view is wider and it was able to easily frame the full moon and the sun. Sunspots were sharp and bright. It is incredibly easy to use and only weighs a few pounds. My only complaint: I wish there was a way to enter coordinates (RA and DEC) for objects not included in the catalogue of objects. I still need to test it on galaxies and clusters but so far I couldn't be happier with this purchase, especially for the price.
