Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my daughter and she loves it. Easy to setup and use.

Bought it for my geeky 15 year old daughter. She loves it and spends her extra time studying constellations. "Best gift I ever received" made it worth the but.

Makes everything seem touchable. Just wish the clouds would go away so I could use it more often.

A really fun purchase! While its still cold the nights are so clear!

This is a very poor example of a telescope/No BUY!

This telescope did not take long to set up. I've read some reviews that said otherwise but it wasn’t that bad at all. It consists of a few pieces that were very easy to put together. We took it outside the first night and were able to immediately get a great view of the moon while I was attempting to align the laser site that comes with it. The view of the moon was exciting for our 8-year old son and just as exciting for us but the real excitement didn't come until the following night when I decided to attempt to configure the telescope by aligning it with three visible stars after selecting the area you're viewing from (we chose Eastern US) and setting the current time. We used two stars and the moon. This is where the telescopes strengths stood out. The star database built into the telescope was able to find all three visible planets for this time of year and our location. We were able to see Mars, Jupiter and, the best one... Saturn. I wasn't even sure we were viewing planets until we got to Saturn. Our son had asked if I could see the rings and I initially said no because I only took the time to center it and allow him to look. I was dubious when he looked and said that he could see the rings. I looked back through the telescope and, sure enough, there were the rings. Clearly separate from the planet. We both looked at the planet at least 10 times each. It was amazing but the most amazing part of this was when we put our son to sleep that night and as he was drifting off to sleep he said that he was really glad he got to see Saturn. That moment was worth the full value of the telescope. Being able to easily find stars and planets made this telescope well worth the purchase. Our son already had an interest in space and astronomy and has several books on the subject. This allowed him to further develop that interest and excitement. We mentioned to him that provided he retains this level of interest we’ll get him a better telescope in the near future. I already plan to stick with Celestron and we’re looking at the Evolution 8 model as an upgrade. Simply a fantastic offering for the price.

I used this thing but after few hours it's stop working

I consider this telescope a very good one. This was my first telescope and I was so excited to get this. The first time i used this i was blown away. I saw everything from the moon to the planets to planetary nebulae. The best was the ring and bubble nebulae. beautiful. Very easy with the go to mount. Definitely a good gift for birthday or Christmas.

Hey one that sorts wifi for use with iPad iOS devices. This one is unconfirmed to support this feature. Other wise a great telescope.
