Re: 9 minute Youtube video before buying your first telescope
New video by Ed about another common scope to avoid buying.
From 5 minutes on he explains the bad parts of the scope.
The yoke & rod mount is limited to only around 33x magnification, too much vibration with even the bundled 25mm eyepiece.
