    Very disappointed. I was assured the view would be direct - not inverted or at an angle. I planned to use it to view mountains and skylines - not the stars. The phone view was upside down and the direct view was upside down and at an angle. The response to this complaint on the website was "there is no up and down in space." I returned it. That went very smoothly.

    bought this telescope thinking i was going to be able to saturns rings or jupiter but unfortunate i wasnt able to . the only thing i was able to see was the moon up close but other then that i didnt see much . the scope finder worked great but that app seemed to not calibrate well and it was always pointing the wrong way . all the stars look just like a bare eye can see just slightly closer and bigger . i was disappointed for the price i paid . if you just trying to see the moon well this is a great scope but personally i taught i was going to be able to see more then what a bare eye can see.

    I wasted my money, we were never able to make it work and I was not able to return due to 30days return policy (I bought it for Christmas) and by the time my daughter opened it, it passed the 30days. She tried to make it work for months, and honestly your phone does a better job than this telescope.

    This was just the beginner telescope I needed. The tripod is light but makes this easy to take out and about.
