Firstly, the brightness and contrast levels are no less than any other 4.5″ telescope, if not better.
Secondly, the planetary performance of this telescope is exceptional for this price range. The long optical tube increases the ability to focus at high magnifications, therefore getting some detail from objects such as Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn is effortless.
Thirdly, the collimation process is much easier. Collimation is an alignment process you regularly will have to do, and thanks to the 900mm tube, it is much easier than other reflectors.
