Works well. Grips but be careful because nuts can fall off. Wouldn't want to put too much pressure on it, but sturdy.

2nd product tried. Should have been the first. So much sturdier and not at all flimsy. Works great.

This is my first reflector telescope, great for planet viewing but not that good for deep space objects. If you want to do astrophotography, this would be a good start. I’m new to astrophotography, using my Sony A7 with several accessories, I can easily take pictures with this telescope. But to be honest, there is a serious problem, 130 slt seems have a Focuser that can not get enough “in-focus” distance for DSLR shooting with prime focus(someone said Panasonic 3/4 sensor Camera can do it), I have to use eyepiece project which caused bad image quality and hard to focus even use a motor driven Focuser. I have serious coma problem when shooting, I don’t know what caused it or it’s just common for reflectors like this. Trying to find out.

 A few pictures taken freehand with my Samsung galaxy a50, not a great camera. I got the 127slt for a birthday gift a few weeks ago. I have been able to observe and track Saturn, Jupiter, Andromeda Galaxy and of course our Moon. Saturn and Jupiter are small even with the 9mm eyepiece but still exciting to see for the first time. The Andromeda Galaxy is very faint but still amazing to see. The 127slt has a narrow field of view and not good for astrophotography. If you can afford it I would step up to a 6 inch or 8 inch aperture like the nexstar 6se or 8se. The 127slt go to mount was easy to align and tracks perfectly however the tripod is not sturdy or heavy enough. During one night of star gazing we were having 5 mph winds and this was shaking the image in the eyepiece. Overall it's a good telescope for beginners especially if you don't know the night sky, the computerized GoTo mount is well worth it. I have found that the sky align using 3 stars works best for me. Choose a star in the east then west and finally the north (in that order) and your good to go.

Monitor arms hold up my dual 27" HP monitors with no problems. My desk setup looks so much better with the arms vs the stands.

This scope is a good way to start stargazing and astrophotography. You can program this until for manual or to be controlled wirelessly with the right accessories. I highly recommend this item but keep in mind that the technology that this scope brings, it is important to have much patience to get familiar with all its functions and capabilities to make this scope work accurately - Happy time travels and enjoy!

These monitor arms are holding up strong many months after purchase on 27" monitors. I am impressed.

My Google Pixel 6 Pro Astrophotography mode had been hit and miss because you cannot crop your shots and be sure where your target was, then I realized I can trace out a constellation or center an object using this laser. I get Fantastic results now!
