"A great upgrade from the 4.5" Reflector, for only $50! This Meade 5" Computer Controlled Reflector Telescope may only be 1/2 inch wider in diameter, but that translates to 30 percent more light-gathering power, and that's a deal! This 5" reflector is really the optimal choices as an entry-level computer controlled "goto" telescope. Powerful magnifications of 38x and 103x right out of the box with an equally impressive f/7.7 ratio (that's very nice light gathering power for you layfolk). Plus, the AutoStar Computer Controller automatically locates and points the telescope to over 1,400 celestial objects with just a push of the button. Just to keep you on your toes, we include a copy of Astronomy for Dummies. And, there's our large Lunar Map and a star wheel that shows the locations of the constellations on any night of the week. Also, for your PC computer, there's a copy of AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition, incredible astronomy software that that print star charts and plan your observing sessions."
