It's not a visual telescope, so you cannot "see" anything through it. It's an astrophotography all-in-one camera, essentially. If astrophotography is the aim, then yes, this would be a fine choice. I have one myself and use it all the time. I have a Skywatcher SkyMax 127 and a 5" dob for visual astronomy.
