Getting back into the hobby.
I haven't touched a telescope since I was a kid, but have always loved astronomy. I wanted to get back into the hobby and did a lot of research on a good starting scope. I chose the Zhumell Z8. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but the assembly took a little less than an hour. There were no printed instructions in the box, but TelescopesPlus has a PDF on their site that is easily downloadable. I printed that off and loaded up an assembly video from Zhumell that's on YouTube and between the two of those it was pretty easy and straightforward to assemble. It's a bit big and awkward, but not too heavy. Unfortunately I chose Fall in the Pacific Northwest to buy a telescope, so I've only had one nice night to get the scope out, but am looking forward to years of enjoyment and learning with this. I had two issues with accessories that came with the scope and a quick call in to TelescopesPlus had replacements on the way. Given how poor a lot of company's customer service is I was gearing up for a "fight", but the rep I spoke with was very helpful and I had my replacement parts a week later. So far I'm pleased with both the telescope and with the service.
