After a simple alignment procedure, the user merely tells the scope where to go amongst its 20,000 object database. Everything needed to begin enjoyable viewing immediately is included in the package.

Comments about Bushnell NorthStar 4.5"/114mm Reflector Telescope Kit:
As an amateur astronomer, I wanted a telescope that would make it easy for me to find objects in the sky. This telescope does just that. Celestial objects come through clear and beautiful. If I had to choose a drawback, I would say that the telescope is a bit bulky, but it's necessary for the quality of the scope.
