    This telescope is really great for my camping. Every time I go camping I always bring this. I know this bulky to out in my car. But I am okay with it. Its all worth it. I saw a couple of falling star. And see the moon more closer

    It is a wonderful telescope. Am able to see the moon, but when trying to see stars it’s a little hard to pin point.

    Built sturdy but could see very little out of it. When I call the manufacturer they stated that everything would appear small unless I bought stronger lenses. Not good!!!

    Have not had a chance to use it yet but i love the fact that you can attach your smart phone to it and it can look at the sky and help you find all kinds of things with pinpoint accuracy

    Easy to put together. I have not been able to use a lot as the skies have not cooperated, but for the few times I have used it we are very happy with it.

    This was a gift so I have not been able to view through it, but it is a great looking piece when setup and it appears solid. This telescope had the features I was looking for, as well has a short, sturdy base to travel with.

    Pretty good, but we've had a very hard time getting the whole starsense thing to work. We haven't used nearly as much as we thought we would because of the difficulty of finding stars.

    Excellent telescope. My only comment is about the two lenses included in the box, they are very basic, so consider an extra budget to buy a set of lenses and also a Smartphone Adapter, it is not included neither.

    If you are thinking about buying this based on the starsense app look elsewhere. This app is off by 90-180 degrees. I go to the other 4 great apps like Star walk who are perfect then aim manually with this junk. When you reach Venus and Mars you're like this scope stinks. Forget about Jupiter and Saturn an unfocused speck on the horizon. Deep space objects? You must be joking. Stick to the moon that's all this scope can handle and badly I might add.

    It is a good telescope for beginners. The Moon and the stars look great. If you are interested in astrophotography this telescope is good for that hobby.
