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.

Good price good product

Great telescope for beginners and definitely worth the price.

Easy to use. Simple to calibrate with a clear focus

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.

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!

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.

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.

This is a great beginner telescope. I got this for my 10 year old don and it has sparked a new interest in the stars and solar system. We use it to look at the moon all the time and cant weight for mars to come back into view.

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.
