    Great telescope. It is a Christmas present for a valedictorian-to-be 16 year old daughter. She loves it and loved seeing the moons of Jupiter. - Not a drawback, but for informational purposes only: First telescope had a light in the viewfinder that flickered mostly off (same as other reviews we read). BestBuy replaced it immediately without issue. because it was a timely Christmas holiday gift, I bought a second one and returned the first one to cut down on wait time. Mark C / Hamilton AL 1/24/22

    Great telescope, so enjoyable to watch the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and other celestial bodies. The only bad thing is that my scope finder came dead--changed out the battery with a new one and it still does not work.

    So far, we love our new telescope! We did buy a Barlow 2x lens to go with it. It was easy to set up, and we’ve enjoyed watching the “Christmas Star”!
