## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it safe to store this telescope in an I insulated garage? The mirrors fell off my expensive maksutov-cassegrain scope while stored in summer.**
A: Hmm, hard to tell. How hot does it get in there? I store mine outside, well covered, and we do occasionally get to 100F. I would expect your garage to be below that.

**Q: Does this telescope come with a 1.25 adapter?**
A: Yes, you can use both 1.25" and 2" eyepieces.

**Q: Is the intelli really needed?**
A: In retrospect, not really. With a good astronomy app in hand it's not hard to find most things.

**Q: Once finding an object, will the scope automatically track the object?**
A: All movement of the scope is manual.  It does not provide tracking capability, only guidance to manually locate objects.

    Easy to setup and use

This scoope is one of the greatest I have ever had.  I have now 3 scoops.  One refactor that was my first and now it is the first scoop is going to my grand daughter.  The second scoop is a 4.5 inch reflector still very good.  And now with my 12 inch, wow to see things that my 4.5 could not reach out too.  Even my grand daughter loves this new scoop.  Oh she is just short of being 3, and she tells me what she likes to look at.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not worth $1,350
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020*

Thought this telescope would be of decent value until started using it. The encoder disks never stay so I was constantly getting warp factors of 30+. Had to spray WD-40 on the base to make it easily rotate since it didn’t smoothly rotate without it. The finder scope is also approximately 8 degrees off from the OTA which makes it unusable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It is very large but a real light bucket.
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019*

I am very much enjoying this telescope.  Assembly was not overly difficult and I was able to complete it alone in a couple of hours.  My shipment arrived quickly and was very securely packaged.  There was a packaging error in my box where I received an incorrect part but after a phone call direct to Orion, I had a replacement part in just a few days.  Using the intelliscope feature was extremely frustrating until searching forums led me to a simple fix.  The azimuth encoder disk tends to spin on the base which makes accurate locating impossible.  Some double sided tape, as suggested by many others, solved that problem and now precise alignment is quick and simple.  I have used the object locator to find several deep sky objects now and even in my extremely light polluted backyard this telescope was able to pick them to out.  I can’t wait to get this scope out into a truly dark sky location.  Transporting will be problematic unless you have a decent sized vehicle.  The scope fits crossways in the back seat of my crew cab truck and the stand will ride just fine in the bed.Invest in some quality eyepieces to enjoy the full potential of this massive telescope.  I bought the explore scientific 82 degree set and am extremely pleased.  I would also suggest a crosshair eyepiece to assist in accurately pointing at your chosen alignment stars.  I use the Orion 20mm illuminated reticle and it works great.
