Excellent starter scope The Star Blaster is an excellent starter/intermediate scope. I under estimated how large it was going to be but it is still very portable and has all the features you would expect. Both the secondary and primary mirrors are adjustable and the primary mirror’s center is clearly marked. It does require assembly especially the Intelliscope function which might require additional wood screws from the hardware store. The Intelliscope function required calibrating to two stars but gives you a choice of which stars. I would recommend assembling the scope and playing with it before trying to install the Intelliscope function as this takes some time and should not be rushed by a desire to use the scope as soon as possible. The scope can be disassembled to install the Intelliscope in just a few minutes. The Intelliscope does not move the scope you have to do this manually but it does track the movement of the scope and displays left/right, up/down arrows and coordinate numbers that increase…
