(More customer reviews)First I want to say that I am very happy with this telescope. The optics are outstanding. I have had it two months now, and have only been able to use it a few times, but the views I have gotten have been outstanding. Jupiter for one is great and I have enjoyed using it for observing double stars (Eta Cassiopeiae for example).
My only criticism would be the owners' manual. The second time I used the scope, I had extreme difficulty in setting the latitude wit the Latitude Adjustment L-bolts. In fact, it wouldn't budge and the bolts got stuck and would not come out. I had to use a pair of pliers to unscrew the bolts. After talking with Orion tech support they let me in on the secret. Don't place the Optical Tube on the mount until after you set the initial latitude. I tried it and everything worked fine. Orion tech support even sent me an extra Latitude Adjustment L-bolt to replace the one I knurled up with the wrench.
These instructions were not in the owners' manual.
This is an excellent telescope that I highly recommend.

Refractor lovers, take notice! We've combined our 120mm (f/8.3) achromatic refractor with our exclusive SkyView Pro equatorial mount to create an instrument of epic performance. The SkyView Pro 120 is the next generation of high-end equatorial refractor, without the high-end price tag. The optical tube is finished in metallic silver enamel. But it's what's inside that is most impressive: a big, multi-coated 120mm (4.7") achromatic objective lens of 1000mm focal length (f/8.3) in an adjustable cell. The 2" aluminum rack-and-pinion focuser (with 1.25" adapter) allows use of optional 2" eyepieces. The SkyView Pro equatorial mount provides the rigid stability demanded by avid astronomers. It features dual slow-motion controls and accommodates optional TrueTrack single- or dual-axis DC drives for electronic tracking. Includes a 6x30 finder scope, a star diagonal, and two Sirius Plossl eyepieces. One-year limited warranty.
