Solar Warning Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.

My first serious telescope.

I bought one of those cheap, light, plastic refactors 15 years ago and after that experience I completely lost interest in the hobby. Just recently and after doing some online research I thought that I would give it another try and so far I am very pleased with my choice. The CG-4 mount is a tank and other than a few plastic **** and caps is completely made out of machined castings also if I want It can be upgraded to motorised tracking. The reflector Tube looks very standard from what I have seen online and that's okay as what sold me was the price entry point and the quality of the CG-4 mount. As I am a noob I have very little else to comment on at this time other than I am researching my next accessory purchase. I think that will be a Polar Scope and then once I learn my way around the night sky some new eye pieces will be in order. The Badder zoom & Barlow combo looks interesting.
