Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great telescope for a beginner
Bought this for our granddaughter for Christmas about 1- 1/2 years ago. Wanted to allow her to use it during the summer months before writing a review. She took it to a local observatory on a children's night. The attendant there set it up for her,\ and showed her how to identify major planets. He told her parents that this model is of very good quality, and a very good choice for a beginner.
