Pink! Too distracting!
"While it's a lovely little telescope but it's probably not the one I would recommend for you as a first-timer". Moves refractor away. OUCH!
First time hearing the audience gasp softly when a truss dob extends!
Thanks for the video bornfree! Lots of useful info in the video.

Seeing a recent influx of new members and more questions on choosing scopes, I remembered stumbling across an interesting writeup a few months back:
How To Avoid The Agony When Buying Your First Telescope
http://soggyastronomer.com/the-agony-of ... telescope/
Doesn't really cover everything but is an interesting read nonetheless.
