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.

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.

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.

Sad

Titled on box as a REFLECTING telescope!! Contents are a REFRACTING telescope!!! Huge difference! If that’s any indication of their knowledge of optics I don’t put much faith in this telescope’s quality.
