    Purchased for Christmas. Looks good and does great with the 10 and 25mm lens' viewing the moon. However, do not get this if you want to see any planets in detail. Could barely break out the moons around Jupiter and rings around Saturn. Mars is just a dot as well.

    Grandson loves this gift. They can take pictures of the moon when looking at it. He is super excited about what he is capable of seeing beyond the clouds. Perfect for age 11.

    Good telescope for beginners with easy manual and setup. We have been using it to do simple star gazing and things like that would definitely recommend for beginners especially with this price.

    Not worth the money...save up for a better scope!

    Save your money and invest in a better scope. This is a good moon scope, but anything more than that, you will be disappointed. I even invested in better lenses and that resulted in marginal improvement. I could see Saturn and its moons. But I only knew it was Saturn because of the Starsense app. I found Jupiter and could barely make out the rings. It is so small that it is not worth the effort.
