Good product, easy too assemble, shipping problems

I have now tried to buy this telescope twice. The first time the box had damage and the telescope spider vanes were tumbling around inside the telescope having come loose. I returned it to Best Buy easily and ordered a new one. The second arrived today. The box looked in decent shape. When I got the telescope out I heard movement inside it again and this time the spider vanes had three out of 4 screws still attached but the mirror was lying on its side leaning against the vanes, having come loose and rolled through the scope. I am now feeling like this is a manufacturing issue, not a one time thing. I am concerned about how durable the telescope will be in the long run. I won’t be asking for another. This is pretty disappointing because it seemed like a great option for a beginner.

Got this telescope for my husband. He is alway out at night looking at the stars and planets. He’s going to love this.

Great telescope for entry level astronomy. Gives very clear views of the moon and even Saturn.

Beautiful telescope that brings sharp images. Easily transported from any room to your roof top or backyard.

Great telescope! STARSENSE app is amazing. Highly recommend

Got this for my husband for our anniversary. It works, but Im not sure if we just don’t know how to use it, or had to high of expectations on what we were going to be able to see, but it was pretty anticlimactic. Giving it four stars because it’s nice, and we are most likely the problem not the telescope.

Read good reviews regarding the product so we purchased it, but after receiving it came broken. One of the clips that holds what reflects the image to the eye piece was broken. We had it setup before noticing it was damaged, we had it set on the moon and the view was great but due to the piece being broken the image moved/bounced around at the slightest touch. After returning it and having another shipped to Best Buy to replace it, we picked it up and brought it home. After opening the box and taking it out to setup a piece inside the telescope was rolling around. So we returned it for a refund.

This is our very first telescope. We found it to be easy to use. Lots of fun for the whole family.

For a beginner it's very easy for them to use my and the price is right

The best purchase yet. It is easy to set up and use. I bought this for my son, and he absolutely LOVES it.

Its an ok teleascope. But for the 450 dollar's spent on it it could've came with more lenses for magnification then 2. Just wish best buy would've let me return it 1 day late....

Extremely easy to use provided one learns to use the starsense application. Wonderful piece of equipment.

Easy to set up. Laser light makes it easy to find objects. Amazing views of the Great Conjunction and our moon on winter solstice.

Kids love seeing the sky through this telescope. This fits for our family and very happy with what we can see.

Love it so much, very powerful and fun and easy to use.

Great starter telescope. Could easily see stars and planets BUT it takes getting used to and a steady hand to find things in the night sky! Alignment tool is absolutely useless though. Just find things manually and you’ll be fine and can atleast experience something.

My boyfriend loved it. Very easy to use and beginner friendly

Did exactly what we needed and wanted it to do and more! Excellent telescope and a great price too!

This telescope is pretty good for beginners. Took me a few tries to get it lined up properly with the app. Had a awesome view of the moon super close. Still waiting to get a view or Saturn or Jupiter. Can't wait
