Stay away

Bought with intention of viewing the sun via enclosed filter but upon opening. Ugh. Very weak/cheap plastic construction. Still, tried using it but not able to actually mark it accomplished.

Disappointed

This was a gift for my husband. He put it together and it broke at the connection to the tripod. Upon further inspection, we could see how where it looked like the tripod had been repaired before. Will be returning in store.

Shakey Tripod

The tripod is shakey. The solar filter just sits on the lens, I though it would snap or screw into place. Haven't had much chance to use the telescope, because of cloud cover and cold weather.

Telescope

Always wanted to own a telescope but did not know how complicated they were to use. This one came with easy to assemble directions and a convenient carrying case with handles. I plan on gifting to my grandsons to watch the eclipse in 2024.

Beginner telescope

This is a good telescope for a beginner. Has great adjustable legs to get different heights, especially on uneven surfaces. Comes with two lenses and a nice carrying case. Does seem a little flimsy for long time use or for small children.

Learning and fun! Very well made telescope! Try it

I wish i could give this 10 stars! It’s fun looking at the stars with the kids and teaching them about astronomy! Also we like to use this to bird watch! Very clear view and set up very easy! We may get a 2nd one !!!

Grandson and Nephew Love It

My Grandson and Nephew are so happy with this gift. They both use it every night. It was an excellent gift for a man in his twenties and a boy in his teens.

Great features!

I got this telescope for my daughter. She has been wanting one for a long time. After looking at different brands and models this one seemed the best. I can’t wait for her to open it because I know she’s going to love it!

Children’s telescope

Very light weight telescope to handle. Almost too light. Very nice lens. Good for a child to move around and use. Good scope to look at the sky. Children will love this as a first scope to use and review the stars. Overall, nice to use and buy.

It’s not the best

Not so good, thought it would be a little better than what it was. The movement of the tube is very difficult either too stiff or too loose. Couldn’t really focus the telescope.
