The Explore Scientific firstlight 80mm refractor on the twilight nano mount, not only looks great but is a great buy. I even managed to buy it on sale!I was looking for another grab n go telescope and mount and looked into this particular model. tested it out last night and was so happy at pinpoint ,bright stars almost out to the edge of field of view.I also own a Celestron 102mm F5 scope and compared the views with each scope. Frankly, the 102mm views were perhaps very slightly better but not by much.The nano mount did arrive with the altazimuth head a bit wobbly, so I went online and found instructions on how to reach certain bolts that needed to by tightened, very easy fix.The mount appears to use striction discs that appeared to be initally too stiff but there was absolutely no problem moving it around at night while stargazing.I am so delighted at finding a decent scope at a bargain price.
