Edmund 3" Red OTA
I have 2 of these. The one that is used the most has a 1.25" focuser. The mount is very basic!! But this lends itself to easy use by newcomers. The optics are very good for an entry level scope. The .965 focuser is crap!! All in all I love handing these to my grandkids and letting them have at is with the big guys.
