Great scope but with fair directions and poor pictures showing assembly.

Review Date: February 22, 2010

Reviewer: Michael Satterfield, Central, SC USA

I love my Orion XT6i scope as far as viewing but the directions came with very few pictures and they were in poor quality. The scope, I would not hesitate recommending to anyone, but I had to try Youtube and Google to find some decent pictures of which washer went where. It took a while to assembly due to bad pictures and this is the same owners manual for the XT6i, XT8i, and XT10i after I assembled it it works great. If I had it to purchase again, I would buy it.

Temporary hearing deprivation can lead to 'lazy ear' March 11, 2010
Scientists have gained new insight into why a relatively short-term hearing deprivation during childhood may lead to persistent hearing deficits, long after hearing is restored to normal. The research reveals that, much like the visual cortex, development of the auditory cortex is quite vulnerable if it does not receive appropriate stimulation at just the ri […]
Students' perceptions of Earth's age influence acceptance of human evolution March 11, 2010
High school and college students who understand the geological age of the Earth (4.5 billion years) are much more likely to understand and accept human evolution, according to a new study. A 2009 Gallup poll reported that 16 percent of biology teachers believe God created humans in their present form at some time during the last 10,000 years. […]
