    This was an on sale impulse buy we are now regretting. Setup guide is simple, but how to use it, not so much. Found myself resorting to YouTube enthusiasts on how to dial in StarSense, but results have been absent so far. Going to give it one more shot, but then calling Celestron for help with the return.

    The Telescope it self is okay but I thought the object being visualized would be clearer. The tripod is not sturdy and I think is pretty flimsy.

    I was impressed with some of the technology using iPhone to find constellations. However I was not impressed with view through the eye piece. I have had better images from my DSLR camera.

    I liked this scope very much but it was not powerful enough to see what I wanted to see, so I replaced it with a more powerful scope.

    You can always expect the best from Celestron. Great for a starter. And you can expand with more lenses.

    I got this as a birthday gift for my husband and he’s very disappointed in this. We followed the guidelines and watch videos on YouTube and one of the YouTubers said that this telescope is difficult and seems to be a toy and wouldn’t recommend anyone to purchase it. We actually tried on 3 different occasions and I must say that I am disappointed in myself that I wasted almost $300 on something for my husband that didn’t reach his satisfaction. I plan to return the item once I get a day off from work
