    My second telescope, coming from a 70mm this was a major improvement. Still just a basic beginner telescope.

    This is a good starting point telescope. However the card that has the code for the app was already used.

    My sons absolutely loves this telescope! He gets great visibility of the Moon, stars and planets and can attach his phone for finding constellations. This was a great gift for him!

    i am a first time user with this product so all i can say is that it is very nice and user friendly. The app works nice. It has to be a really clear night to enjoy the planets.

    Great scope for star gazing and planets. Fair price for a scope of this size. Nice for all age groups. Fits easily on our car, I would recommend additional eye pieces.

    Great starter telescope As indicated by the price. It could use some higher quality parts. Some cheap plastic in there but that’s to be expected at this price

    It has great magnification out of the box. Can readily see Jupiter’s moons and the ring of Saturn. Hadn’t had much luck with the phone app yet but still working on it.

    This scope does not have the power to see the things advertised. We even moved up to the 2” eyepieces and a 2x magnifier. Just could not get the images that were identified on the box or in the videos

    Optics seemed okay for price point but issues with mounting hardware and phone adapter being backwards. Ended up returning for better unit. Seemed like a decent beginner scope but looks to be quality control issues.
