One can not see Neptune or Mars, more frustration than fun. Very difficult to fine tune into target.

Bought it for my adult grandson and me. Gives us precious time together doing something that is fun and enjoyable. And the Cometron 114AZ checks all the right boxes. It was easy to assemble, set up, and in no time we were looking at the Moon, Mars, Venus, etc. Plus it's a great telescope for beginners.

It is light weight and easy to carry around your backyard, deck and if cold outside from a window to another in your home. Good wide field view. Star clusters look amazing. Make of the product is good.

The Cometron 114 Telescope is very easy to set up. The viewfinder is one of the better ones I’ve used but it does need to sighted in as accurate as possible to ensure your telescope is aligned. The image in the scope is upside down but that is normal for this type of telescope. The moon looks great with both eye pieces. Just waiting for Saturn, Jupiter or Mars to become viable. My only negative concern is the scope mount - the scope is held onto the mount by the pressure of one screw. To ensure the scope doesn’t accidentally slide off the mount you’ll need to keep checking that the screw is screwed in tightly. Minus one star for that.

very excellent telescope/ great view thu the eye-piece/ an weight only 8 lbs

I decided to take up stargazing about a year ago, but was hesitant in purchasing beginner's equipment. Initially I wanted to take up astrophotography, but with little research discovered that it would require a greater investment. The Cometron was among several "top choice" lists for beginning telescopes due to its light gathering abilities and ease of use. After 4 months with this telescope I can confirm what some have said about it being a solid entry telescope. It allows to view the moon in great detail with the provided lenses. Planetary observation is also possible, but I've had to invest in a higher magnification (4mm) lens to see Saturn and Jupiter in greater detail. The included 20 mm lens allows for pleasant views of the Ptolemy Star cluster, the Pleiades, and other globular and open clusters. It is possible to view Andromeda as a faint glow in the sky and the Orion Nebula is very pleasant to look at and its nebulosity is easily discerned. The included 10mm lens provides the best view for single stars. Trust me when I say that this telescope will turn anyone with even the slightest interest in stargazing into an astronomy enthusiast. That's what it has done for me.

For the price you can’t beat the quality. Able to see the moon in great detail and the colors of Jupiter.

Exceptionally priced telescope will satisfy any age person buying their first. The set up is very simple and the instructions are user friendly. Definitely recommend.

Excellent item….got it for my daughter and she enjoyed.

Very nice telescope for a beginner setup for the price!

Decent telescope to look at the sky at night. The lenses that came with it are ok but better ones make viewing more enjoyable.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase the telescope and it is great easy to set up and use great for looking at the moon and stars

It was so cool to see the moons of Jupiter with this sucker. Light weight and easy to setup.

Now i can see the moon , only bad thing is that i can only see the moon , is not to powerful

Dont use it much but my girlfriend back then now my wife, loves it and we try to use when we can and when we do its amazing.

Very good telescope for viewing the stars. It was easy to assemble. It came with free downloadable software for guidance. As a beginner I found this to be invaluable.

My kids love the telescope and uses every night. Can see the moon and planets

It does not work, don’t waist your money. You cannot see anything at all

We love this one. Puts our old one to shame, but I suggest getting the extra sizes of lenses and filters to go with it.
