Good starter telescope.
For the price this is a very good buy. You need a little patience to set up but not overly difficult. The included Ap and three D presentation makes it a lot easier. Looks good in my Den great views of the moon. Will need a clear night to see the planets. Good sizeable tripod. Four stars!

Not worth the buy
Not easy to use. Not easy instructions to follow for set up. We thought this was going to be hit. But its a dust collector. We're going to have to look for another brand of telescope for our home. It has good hardware, but the lenses are hard to concentrate.
