It slides onto the tube as easily as the tube does onto the single fork arm CG-5 dovetail mount - with minimal fuss. As standard with red dot finderscopes, its bright red illumination can be dimmed via the controlling knob on the side to suit whatever observing situation you're in, whether it's just after dusk in a city or a fully dark night sky reserve in the middle of nowhere. The finderscope is very helpful in aiding the alignment and location of stars. The adjustable tripod is pretty flimsy, although the accessories tray which holds the eyepieces and any other miscellaneous accessories is quite handy to stabilize the tripod legs. While astronomers don't tend to head out in a rain storm to view the stars, the odd passing shower does come from nowhere sometimes so those wanting to grab this telescope will want to cover it before it starts raining.
A little manipulation of the single fork arm base and you can virtually peer into the motor housing, viewing wires and more. The plastic casing is acceptable but we don't think it could survive a substantial knock or a soaking from a passing shower as the seals aren't great, unlike some of the hardier, fully-sealed telescopes available. The optical tube assembly is 38.1cm long and 11.7cm in diameter. Celestron AstroFi 102 Telescope (Black) at Amazon for $998.We have taken a closer look to help you decide whether this is the beginner scope for you. However, we do think this telescope is worth scoping out which is why we've included it in our buying guide for the best beginner telescopes. Similarly, we'd recommend it for those without the desire to push their astronomy knowledge beyond the basics, as the opportunity for this with the Astro Fi 102 is limited. Alternatively, this would suit someone interested in astronomy that wants to observe celestial objects without learning to navigate the night sky themselves. Despite this, we'd recommend it as a beginner telescope. The image is pleasing, with some expected (at this price point) image fall-off around the edge of the field of view. Mount type: Computerized Alt-Azimuth Single Fork Arm
