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.

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.

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.

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.

Telescope

My youngest grandson is a Boy Scout. He was so excited to assemble and try out the telescope. It is amazing the clarity and distance that is available. Great scope for a young scout.

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.

Junk

Can't see a darn thing through this! You really do get what you pay for. I knew this was too cheap and of course it's too late to return. It was cloudy here for a month and we never got to try it out!

Not that bad

I bought this telescope and set it up without looking at the directions. My kids and I saw jupiter and 3 of its moons with it. It's very basic but what would you expect for that price?
