I bought this for my 13 Yr Old Great Nephew. He was thrilled and sent me a great picture of the moon with it. He cannot wait for warmer weather so he can go outside more with it.

It is good for beginners I just wish it came with better instructions

The phone holder cant even hold an IPhone at all! Whats the point of getting it to take pictures if I cant take pictures?!

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 a good buy

Ordered with my new membership tripod was child size and not suitable for anywhere in my home. Very disappointed it had to be returned.

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.

Does not really work

When you purchase a cheap telescope, you must expect cheap results. Can you see the moon? Absolutely! However, anything outside the center of the viewing window is distorted and has a blue or red hue. Can you see mars? Absolutely! Mars looks like a sharp red star. Can you see Jupiter? ABSOLUTELY! Jupiter looks like a bright star with four stars in a line with it. Spoiler: you can see the Galilean moons through this telescope! They’re tiny, but you can see them. Can you see Saturn! Absolutely! It looks like a star. Can you see Uranus? Absolutely! It looks like a star. Can you see Neptune? It took a few tries, but… absolutely! Neptune is dim, but you can see it through this telescope. What about Venus? I saw Venus too, but it just looks like a star. What’s the point? Cheap telescope means cheap results. The coolest things I saw through this telescope were Jupiter and the Orion nebula, which looks like two stars surrounded by a teal haze. What is this telescope’s biggest downfall? The tripod is awful. Shakiest thing known to man. You know what though? I spent $54 on this telescope and had more fun that I thought possible with it. Did I outgrow it? Yes. BUT I had a great time and I got my money’s worth out of it. Are you considering buying this telescope? It’s on sale for $37 right now. I say just buy it and have fun.

Purchased two as gifts neither was worth the money - both children were unhappy with them
