Good starter telescope

First of all, this telescope is a great value for the money spent. It's a great telescope for our small grandchildren. We had it set up rather quickly and the directions were fairly easy to follow. Satisfied customer.

Good value for price

The description indicates it comes with two lenses, but there is a third lens you can purchase separately. It is hard to line up the red sighting dot. But it is a step up from my last telescope and good price so I am happy with it.

Good Quality Telescope for the Price

Good quality for the price. Set up is a little tricky but when you get it right, it’s a good telescope for the money. My kids really enjoy looking at the night sky with this telescope. Sleek design makes it look more expensive than it was.

Telescope

Very impressive telescope. We didn’t realize it until it came but it also connects to you smartphone so you can download pictures. The whole family has enjoyed looking at the stars. A great family night idea!

Bad scope or piece of junk

Putting together the telescope will be hard for people because the instructions are poorly written. Using the telescope will be even more of a challenge. Lining up the sight scope took forever and was really difficult to do with bifocals on. Even after careful alignment I still had issues locating the full moon, planets were a no go. I either got a bad scope or this thing is a piece of junk. With clear western Oklahoma skies the moon looked terrible in the scope and the scope would never focus well.

Star grazers will love it!

To be honest the weather where I live hasn’t been cooperating with me. Today is March 31st and we are expecting a blizzard, lol. The instructions are really light and hard to read/understand. It took me a really long time to see anything through the lens. The camera holder would not stick to my phone case. It is a cool idea to put the phone up to it to see better and for sharing with friends.

Such a cool item to have in our home

This is one of the most unique and cool items I’ve ever seen. I’ve never had a telescope but always wanted to invest in one. This thing has it all. Downloadable star map to make it easy for us newbies. A full panhandle tripod to give you the full stargazing experience, with a tray to hold all the accessories. I was surprised at how easy it was to get started using it as a novice and the best part is your smartphone connects so you can take photos of what you’re seeing! As someone who just moved to a rural area with so much open sky and nature, this is a very exciting item.
