Customer Ratings & Reviews

Did not like it it looks like it’s for kids sorry I took it back.

Best But is the Best !!! excellent quality!! Love this store. I will always choose Best Buy when I want quality!! It's never had defective items!!!!The customer service is the Best!!

I bought this the weekend before the eclipse so I could take my Geography class out to see it. It worked very well for that purpose and everyone was able to see the eclipse as it happened. It was only a partial eclipse here, but I was glad that they all had a chance to see almost the whole thing. We also utilized eclipse glasses and pinhole projectors to see the eclipse. The telescope worked out well and I have it packed up waiting for the next one!

I figure that this will be an excellent telescope when I use it. The magnification is great.

Been needed this type of scope for many years. Just in time for the Eclipse.

It worked out well.My grandson used it during the eclipse.

Nice exploring activities in the sight areas in the sky.

Bought this telescope the day before the solar eclipse in Oregon and was so happy to have it! It exceeded our expectations and was a big hit at our viewing party

Never able to see anything through this thing. Called customer service, no one ever picked up. Emailed customer service, never replied. Finally returned it.

Didn’t work and was a waste of money and is really useless.

A Must Have Solar Telescope! great price for great value! i use it every single day to see the sun with my son

Doesn’t work, not worth the money at all. Don’t buy.

good and price under 70 I felt good unfortunately rain here prevented me from using it,

Our whole neighborhood was using it for the 2017 eclipse. It worked wonderfully!

This did not work out of the box. Probably why it came with an immediate 20% restocking fee

No fine adjustments. Hard to get it set and focused especially on the 5mm lens.

Difficult to see the sun using the Solar Telescope

I will be traveling to Oregon for the total solar eclipse in August. I wanted something that will magnify the eclipse, but was still portable, This was a perfect option. I tested it out on the sun and was able to see a clear image of the disk and a couple small sunspots. The tripod is pretty lightweight, but at under $100 for a complete solar telescope it is perfectly acceptable. Plus the telescope has the same type of tripod mount as a DSLR, so I can use my sturdy Manfrotto tripod if I want something even more stable. I can't wait until 8/21/17!

Very handy little telescope to easily find the sun. The sun-finder can be a little tricky to figure out, but can be fun trying to line it up anyways. Only four stars because it does feel a expensive for the plastic make.

I first looked at getting a binocular, but chose the telescope instead. This is perfect for solar viewing and I am all set for the 2017 Eclipse in August. I have been practicing looking at the sun before the eclipse so I am ready to view when the time comes. Locating the sun in this is very easy with the solar finder. Just point toward the sun and look for the shadow to fall on the target. Very easy!
