    The telescope has some positive sides, but all in all felt like a hobby killer as the adjusters were frustratingly springy, and the base was unsteady. I changed gears and got an 8 inch dobsonian instead and have been much happier

    Great telescope my son and I had a ton of fun looking through the sky. Would precede better lenses but after we purchased a few upgraded ones it made viewing very pleasurable. Was missing parts and still awaiting them. Customer service for Celeste on is also terribly slow process.

    Definitely worth the price! I was able to get some fantastic views of the moon and its surface textures. Great for moon views, but don’t expect to see any planets really well. You’re not going to find a telescope in this price range that will get you a great planet view. If you love the moon like I do, I highly recommend this scope!

    I bought this for my grandsons to view the recent conjunction. It worked well for that. Set up instructions were not very good. Had to look at online video to really understand what to do.

    Great telescope for the entire family. The only problem we had thus far was the red dot finder. Ours does not work. We changed the battery and still nothing.
