"Meade bashing"? Looks like an objective, non-hostile and honest review. If the device doesn't work after 8 or 9 tries, it doesn't work. Sending it back and working with customer "support", and it still doesn't work looks like a waste of $1500 to me. I have seen this same telescope in action, and it's marginal at best, hobby discouraging at worst. A $1500 "department store telescope". No bashing intended, just fact.
