3.0 out of 5 stars Bushell North Star, December 29, 2002

I recieved this for Christmas. I returned it the next day because the clip on the leg was broken. The new one was fine until I put it up and the clip broke. I am a photographer and know how a tripod works! I called Bushell and they stated "some got through our quality control" and said they will send out a new, improved tripod; however could not even estimate when it would arrive since they were completely out at the warehouse. When I went to put it away, the middle plastic support broke. From the brief momement I had with it (when it wasn't falling apart) the scope and locater worked. Note that although there is a "lifetime warrantee" on workmanship, the electronics has only a 1-year warrantee (see the fine print). I am a bit hesitant on trusting the mechanics on something that fell apart in my hands-"what's next" comes to mind.

2.0 out of 5 stars kinda noisy,, January 9, 2004

This unit comes w/20,000 preprogramed objects in the sky but viewing them is not particularly easy due to poor lens quality.The motors sound like a flock of screaming banshees,but they will line up the preprogramed objects w/precision.I've had no trouble with the tripod.I notice the instuction book does not mention why there are two telephone type jacks on the remote.If I had payed for this unit myself I would have returned it.
