Our grand daughter was thrilled when she opened the box!
birthday gift for boyfriend still trying to learn but loves it saw moon really a great telescope
I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves it!
It is not to big
Looks great, assembly was easy but working on actually trying to use it now. Takes some getting used to if you are new to this hobby.
easy to set up.. little chinsey on the legging but all in all a good starter scope for all ages very easy to set up and calibrate
I was given this telescope by my mother for my birthday a few years back and I've loved it ever since. I live in Florida so I don't have an opportunity to use it year round as most months have such high humidity that the lens over fogs almost immediately. Now that we're back in great "winter" weather I can finally pull it outside again and begin using it once more. You definitely get your money's worth for the telescope considering the low price. You can see high detail features of the moon in the lens and you can even spot Mars, Jupiter, Venus, etc if you're lucky and don't have too much light pollution. We like to go out on a hill that's a big far away from the nearest houses / streetlights and use it on the weekends during the "winter" as it's the best sort of location for this. The hardest part of using this telescope for me had to be the initial understanding of properly aligning the equatorial mount and figuring out how to use it. A few videos online from searching and I had it all pretty much down. I'd highly suggest this as a starter telescope if you don't mind doing some equatorial mount research to get an idea of how to use it properly.
I think the full potential of this refractor can only be achieved with additional eyepieces other than the standard ones.
The tripod is not very stable and while viewing the whole image shakes for few seconds before stabilizing and it has some play in the focus....
having trouble getting a view thru the main lens and the small scope has an upside down view hope you can tell me what I'm doing wrong
