Often, when selecting text for this section, we find manufacturer/importers claims to be a little 'optimistic' and often need to rewrite or at least edit the content!  Not so with the Tal 1. 

I don't know what it is about Russian optics but they are genuine over-achievers and the mechanical construction is practically bomb-proof! 

Here's a review from Astronomy Now

Importers text:

Manufactured to very high standard of optical and mechanical engineering, the TAL-1 combines both excellent optical performance together with an extremely robust and thoughtfully designed mechanical layout. Smooth slow-motion controls make tracking a pleasure. A rock-steady pedestal stand ensures complete operating stability. Supplied with useful accessories including a sun projection screen for safe solar imaging, five light filters and a camera mounting bracket for astro photography.

An incredible package with an unequalled combination of performance, value and equipment levels than any rival telescope of this size.

Whether viewing the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn or beyond, for someone taking a serious step into this fascinating hobby the TAL-1 cannot be overlooked!!
