They are excellent but being SCTs they are not good for beginners as they are all f10 giving very high magnification - so it's harder for you to star hop. Also not the best for astrophotography as they are fork mounted. Their best feature is that the tubes are small for their aperture & they have goto. If you don't want goto or tracking get a dob instead. If you need them I would go for Celestron Advanced series - cheaper + can be used for astrophotos with no field rotation. SkyWatcher & Orion have nice stuff too. Best place for reviews is here http://cloudynights.com/category.php?category_id=6&pr=2<br><b>References : </b><br> Depends on what you want.
