Optics are clear, mount is difficult

It's a $69 telescope and Very difficult to use: eyepiece is mounted at 45ยบ off axis. It would be better to be mounted either horizontal or vertical. The elevation and train pivot points stick (design) which makes centering in on celestial bodies or following the moon's orbit almost impossible (telescope jumps all over the place). NG makes an upgraded tripod with motorized celestial drive for this telescope - but it can't be bought separately, and I don't need a 2nd telescope.

Going to Return

First of all, the instructions. What?! They are so hard to follow. I donโ€™t know if I assembled it right or not, but Iโ€™m guessing not because it doesnโ€™t work for me. Iโ€™m not able to focus on anything. Second, thereโ€™s a picture that says not to use your eye to look through, so is this only for phones?? I donโ€™t know much about telescopes, I was hoping this one would be a good one for beginners since it was cheap. Iโ€™m returning this.

Nice model, it looks very good and works ok.

It's a beginner model. I thought it was going to be a little better because of the design. But it's okay.

So excited!

I purchased for my brother-in-law's bday. He, and his family, were pleasantly surprised at what they could see and the fairly easy set up!

Excellent telescope and a great gift idea

I bought this for my son and he was able to set it up and begin using it quickly. It's exciting to see Jupiter's moons.

Great telescope. Easy to use

Bought it for my kids and I to use and it was super easy to use and set up. Itโ€™s a Newtonian style telescope so it reverses the image.
