I would upgrade the mount. Put on a red-dot finder and a 90-degree diagonal. It would then make a good grab and go. As it comes out the box it would be frustrating to use.
Hiiiii do you think a Barlow lens is necessary for this telescope? I'm a beginner and bought this as a new telescope. I wanted the 70DX and it brought an extra Barlow lens, now I feel like this 80 one is not as good since it doesn't bring it. Is it necessary to have one? Thank you!
Hi I have the same telescope my sleeve broke lucky telescope and lense are ok question do you need the sleeve or you can work with out it what about the t ring that I lost is it nessary to have the t ring.
If by sleeve, you mean the piece that slides on to the front of the scope, then no, you don't need it. It is just a dew shield/light shield. It delays the formation of dew on cold nights and blocks stray light. I'm not sure what you are referring to by t-ring because this telescope didn't come with one. A t-ring is for connecting a camera to the telescope in place of the eyepiece.
The telescope main tube is metal, the focuser and lens cell are plastic and the objective lenses are glass. A metal focuser would be ideal, but as is it appears to be fairly well made.
Hi.this model is better or skymax serie from sky watcher?
What kind of telescope do you suggest for daily wildlife observing?

Rickety mount and tripod.

The mount is horrible and wobbly. Most cheap DSLR tripods would be better. Go find a used one for $10-20 at the thrift stores.
Is the telescope plastic?
