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.

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 !!!

OKayish telescope but get binnoculars or spotscope

If you ever plan on buying a nice telescope, I highly recomend you look somewhere else. Depending on how good you are in terms of viewing, this will give you a somewhat BELOW average viewpoint. Everyone is getting ready for the Solar eclipse but if you plan on taking photos, I highly recomend getting one with better reviews. FOr some reason there are moments where the telescope feels like it has a bit of milkish texture and required an aircan to clean it out... IT did gave a clearer view but again had some issues with the viewing I Also tried to buy Adapters to mount onto the scope to take pictures but again it is more difficult and hard to adjust the viewing angle. If any case the only positive note about this product is that it does come with is: - A travel case - 10mm for those fine details - 20mm for those wide details - Solar filter which fits nicely... I Already plan to buy alternative eye pieces to see if it's just the eye pieces that is giving a bad mark but chances are very slim.

Just... don't...

Just walk away from it right now. I bought it today. There are absolutely no instructions... I know you're thinking "how hard can it be to put it together?" I thought so too. It it difficult to figure out what goes where, how to adjust it to even be able to see out of it, and the tripod is just alright.

Not worth the box it comes in

Instructions are very poor, hard to operate. Never was able to focus on anything. Tripod is ok if your less then 4" tall. Disappointing, purchased for 9 year old grandson.
