My neighbor down the street has one and he will have get togethers when something is in view and there are good weather conditions. Don't listen to SEO expert, he is full of shit. From the one down the street ive looked through you can see individual rings of saturn, make out colors spots on other planets and the moon looks wicked cool. The only frustrating thing is you only have around 15-30 seconds to view something very far away. Then you have to worry about finding it again, re-focusing etc.

Im not sure what kind he has, I have never seen anything similiar sold. Its a 16 inch lense. the base sits on the ground and the tube is 5 feet in length. Ive looked through some cheaper telescopes, 200-400 bucks in range and they suck. Autofinding is also worthless on the ones ive looked at. If you are seriously interested I can give him a call. He does photography through his and im guessing he spent big bucks.
