Very nice telescope and cool features. I didn’t notice it’s for 10+ so I was expecting a much bigger product. But it does what it’s meant for. So I can’t complain. I would have given it 5 stars but I took one star away because it was difficult to assemble.

The telescope was really easy to assemble and is light to carry around. I got the one in black and silver with the telescopic legs and black carrying bag that fits the entire telescope for ease of travel and transportation. It also comes with two magnifying lenses 20x and 40x), a solar screen that you can view the solar eclipse with and a smartphone adapter. My daughter is excited to look at the stars and moon at night, as well as the solar eclipses without having to wear those flimsy glasses.

I am no astronomer, but this is a great little telescope! It was very easy to set up and stay using. It comes with a nice carrying case and the tripod stand “telescopes” into itself so set up and take down were a breeze! My sons have enjoyed looking up into the sky at night to see what they can find!

Great Telescope! Powerful little thing. I like that everything comes in a little bag so you wont loose the pieces. It also comes with a little guidebook, and with the next solar and lunar eclipses. Highly recommend for kids that like the moon like my nephew

I ordered the telescope for a middle school student that I don't know. I bought it for him because I wanted to interest him in science. The name National Geographic told me it was good quality. I also purchased it because the ad says it provides lots of lunar details, has two eye pieces, features downloadable sky software and seeing planetary features like Jupiter’s cloud belts or Saturn’s rings as well as some of the brightest objects in the sky. I trust the ad because I have purchased many good quality items from Sam's. When buying from Sam's I never worry about quality.

Nice recreational telescope. My kids and I tried it out and were able to see pretty well. We did not mount it, just used it by hand. I loved that it included a carrying bag. There are also extra lenses and filters. As long as you are not looking for a NASA grade telescope, you would be happy with this one.

So when I picked this item I was super excited to receive it as I love looking up at the stars! I took it out of the box and it was so easy to put together and it is super lightweight! It is the perfect gift for a growing kid that wants to look into the stars! It does not do so well with clouds but totally not a deal breaker!

I love how many accessories come with it especially that it comes with a case to keep it all on so it stays safe and all together. It definitely is a must have for a little science kid who loves anything regarding space. My son had been asking for one for two years now and I can't wait to see the look on his face.

So excited about this National Geographic telescope. 20X and 40x power Magnification. There is also a smart phone adapter. Comes with everything. The set up is easy. Great carrying/storage case. We live by the beach and will have lots of family fun with this.

This is our first time owning a telescope. We dont know nothing about telescopes. It does come with a guidebook but my husband said it did not help him. For maybe 20mins in looking and playing we were able to see the stars. My 4yr old and 6yrs old were so exicited. The telescope does not stay stedy it does move a little so we end up losing what we are focusing on. This is great for beginners because as of myself i am learning but its actually pretty fun and pretty cool.
