Once I figured out how to use everything, I started gazing at the stars and planets. The telescope works very well. The controls are smooth and the eyepieces are very clear. I am finally enjoying the telescope.

Qualité optique sans reproche pour un instrument de ce prix.
La monture équatoriale laisse un peu a désirer.
Les oculaires sont moyens , a remplacer par de vrais oculaire.
Vendeur rapide et sérieux. Instrument très bien emballé.
It took a fair bit of browsing "best starter telescope" articles to arrive at a decision between three different models and I eventually ended up here.
The Sky-Watcher Evostar-90 is a competent enough telescope that is easy to get to grips with and should serve you well whether its an impulse buy or if you're looking to go further with star-gazing.
Sure, you'll find telescopes with higher magnification, or wider fields of view, but I'd say this strikes a good balance and the supplied 10mm, 25mm, and 2x Barlow lenses offer a good starting tool kit that can be expanded upon, but mathematically make good use of the telescope already.
This unit comes with an EQ-2 mount, and this may seem daunting to begin with but with just a bit of research you should easily be able to get to grips with it.
I have no real point of comparison yet, but I'll say this, overall the mount feels well-made. The RA and Dec axes rotate smoothly with no apparently grinding or manufacturing issues. It balances sell, and the fine axis adjustment is also good, so once you're set up its a breeze to track your chosen target.
To finish it off, the tripod seems to be standard fare. Good enough quality but nothing extravagant; its easy to setup and includes a basic tray for storing your bits within easy reach while you're using the telescope.
Overall, a fair quality telescope that is capable enough for anyone getting into stargazing.
One final point to note: the unit received appears to have come from an Italian outlet called Auriga. This isn't a problem per-se, but the included documentation was lacking - I'd suggest just going straight to Skywatcher's website which seems to have more relevant manuals for each model.
Yo ahora empiezo a meterme también un poco en espacio profundo.
Ahora he decidido también completar con algun ocular extra y filtros. En resumen: estoy muy contento con este telescopio y sus prestaciones.
