These videos and pics were produced with a Meade DS-114, a 4.5" reflector scope and a Celestron 80EQ mounted on the same tripod. Customized the DS-114 to work with 1.25" eyepieces. I purchased this scope off Craigslist for $25 bucks, a bargain, even though I had to clean and collimate the main mirror, and replace the battery compartment. I believe this is an excellent beginner's telescope. What I love the most about it is its capability to fine adjust Al and Az, specially useful for astrophotography. I haven't tried the Autostar feature. I live in a medium to high light polluted area and in these conditions objects other than planets or stars are hard to spot.
