Tasco goto, spare us!

Here's a pic of a small Tasco goto newt. This beast is far from cheap, also check out the mount. Looks very 'nexstar' don't you think? This goto revolution has a lot to answer for!

Looks a lot like the Nexstar 114GT I started out with earlier this year. Yes it does do GOTO functions, but the slightest little thing threw it out. The tripod is weak and very easy to move by the slightest bump or kick. Even teh act of focusing would throw it out of alignment. Even with this I could find and see M81, M82, and lots of other things in the sky, enough to wet my appitite and make be buy a real scope, 10inch LX200GPS.

Yes, it will frustrate the new owner, but it may lead to new owners of adequate scopes. My Nexstar 114GT is available.
