On our first use, we were able to see Neptune. Worked beautifully. Using Google's free Sky Map app helped to identify it's location in the sky. Being that it was our first telescope, it took a little getting use to on knowing how and when to focus in or out but figured it out eventually. Basically, you want to zoom the focus in all the way but use the widest lens to find and center the object. Then switch to the more powerful lens and zoom the focus back out.

East assembly and set up. Tricky with the smartphone adapter but as long as you hold onto your phone you should be fine. My 10 year old loves it and is wanting to play outside more. Highly recommend

This Telescope is awesome. We've enjoyed seeing the bright, clear images of the moon, some planets, numerous star clusters, while just having family fun! This has a great nighttime view that is easy to focus and maneuver to see everything the kids want to see from our own back yard.

This telescope was easy to assemble. I like that you can adjust the height of tripod making it easy for my 5 yo to look through. The viewfinder makes it easy enough to target where you want to look. The picture was easy to focus and very clear. You can view the moon and amaze any child with the detail you can see through telescope. This is a bit large for my 5yo but he feels it’s an “adult” telescope and gets very excited about using it.

Great perfect just what i needed to see the beautiful stars. It is also easy for the kids to use this would make a great gift. I would recommend looking at all the parts to make sure you know exactly what you need to use for each.

Always wanted a telescope and so glad we came across this one. I've been looking at stars for years. And now my oldest son is interested. This telescope is really easy to use. The legs are adjustable. There is a laser light so you can focus on the star or constellation. There is an app you can dowload on your phone and use it to see the constellations. We haven't done that. If we do I will update this review. Really nice product for the price.

You can see a lot of stuff that stands out on the moon looking through it I had a problem hooking my camera to it and getting any kind of picture

The telescope is compact and easy to set-up, which makes for taking it on the go a possibility. However, the product packaging is inconvenient for reusing to pack away and protecting the product in storage. Was almost a full moon when I first utilized the telescope and was able to focus on it without issues. The setup for the phone camera was a bit difficult to utilize. Made it work with an iPhone 13 & 13 mini. iPhone 13 Max didn’t seem to work as well, as the camera lenses didn’t fit within the optical viewing glass. All phones were secure in place during operation.

This telescope is just okay. It pretty good for a first telescope. It was easy to set up and use. Came with 2 extra eyepieces. The phone mount and ability to take pictures with your phone camera was pretty neat

I am an amateur astronomer. I thought i could use this small light weight reflecting telescope with a 4.5" parabolic mirror as a grab-and-go scope. I am dealing with lower back issues and am unable to use my much larger and heavier 12" SkyWatcher flextube dobsonian reflector telescope right now. The problem i had with this National Geographic NG114mm telescope is that the focuser is of such low quality that i was unable to collimate the mirrors with a laser collimator in order to even bring Jupiter or Saturn into focus. If you plan on using this telescope for terrestrial viewing, it will work fairly well. Just know that the image you will see at the eyepiece will be upside down and reversed. An image rectifier eyepiece will fix this issue. I do not recommend this telescope for astronomical use.
