Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was surprised at what this telescope is capable of seeing.I know there are way better more advanced telescopes .But this is an excellent beginner scope.I did buy better lenses for it . It is ‘80mm aperture 900 focal length. I had really nice moon views .Saw rings separate on Saturn.Saw cloud bands on Jupiter with its moons .I did buy motor which was extra It mounted to scope to track planet movement. Battery operated.A little noise while on but not loud very nice to help stay locked on target.I have bought bigger better scopes afterward but can’t part with it .

Instructions to put together telescope were simple, straightforward and easy to understand. usage of telescope takes some practice but is reasonable. user manual explains alot of the pieces and adjustments. power and focus of the telescope are reasonable for an entry level and price point. one complaint is the view finder on top of the telescope; you the 3 knobs used to adjust are not sufficient to line up the viewfinder with an object in the distance. thus the viewfinder and the telescope done line up on the same object.

Telescope worked well. Great view of the moon. I exchanged it only because it's fully manual and could not use the Starsens app, but if you're into doing the research and finding the planets and then locating them, I think it's great for that.

This is a great product and putting it together was fairly easy. However, the difficulty came in trying to figure out how to use it properly. All in all, a better manual on installation and use is needed. Even if the manual was not printed, being able to access more information on the manufacturer's website would be helpful. However, if your a novice at telescopes your best bet in learning how to use it is to find someone who has one and can help you.

It took some getting used to. Wouldn’t recommend for your first telescope. But for the price and the features it is a great purchase

I think this telescope is a great buy for the money, just need to buy a few more eye pieces and filters.

Easy instructions to follow during set up. Great value for the money

I bought this as a graduation gift for my 11 year old son. He really is enjoying this we are having so much fun looking at the stars at night. its pretty big in size

Very good telescope, just too big for where we had it located in the living room.

it's great for starters and can see the moon very close

Assembly takes a while but the quality of the materials is really good. Good for kids who are beginners

With a little adjustment of the mount and tripod bolts, the the mount became tight. Every thing I needed came with the telescope to start me on my way. The manual was easy to read and star software was quick to down load and easy to use. The images were vary clear and sharp. Vary good quality.

I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and we enjoy using this so much.

I got this for my husband for his bday after 15 years together and him telling me he's wanted it since he was 5. He loves it and it is great for a beginner. Come with everything you need to start and is very heavy-duty. Not cheap at all.

This is a very good telescope and every easy to use.

I bought this online and had it shipped to my house. I was very impressed with the way it was double boxed to protect it. It was very easy to assemble even though there where a lot of pieces.

Itwas kind of confusing when we started but we love it.

Well made product, a little hard to set up. Great for beginners though.

Great telescope for novice astronomers. Reliable brand, & decent price. Even comes with the tripod.

Not easy to locate the objects and very challenging to use
