    Very good product. However, get away from the city if you really want to enjoy this telescope. Ps: the app is trash.

    Nice telescope for a beginner, or for anyone for portability and ease of use. Easy manual positioning and a red dot finder that works well. Manual slow motion controls are a bit rough but ok. Very Clear and bright images under lower power. Great for the Moon, brighter planets and even some deep sky Messier objects.

    Liking this telescope so far. Still fresh and getting used to it. The red dot is easy to align. I haven't been able to auto align the smart phone, but I think it's due to trees and other obstructions. Crystal clear view of the moon. Still working on finding the planets.

    My son absolutely loves this telescope and setup was pretty simple for the most part. Only thing I wish is that it has something to stabilize the phone camera to look into the viewfinder for pictures

    The good- Telescope set up is straight forward. The viewfinder does a great job of locating objects. Good views of the moon and definitely brightens up stars. Overall very fun to use. Not so good- Mount to stand is not reliable. Scope slid off stand while I was moving it and just barely caught it before it fell to the ground. Still having challenges getting the phone/camera to align and be truly useful for locating specific celestial objects (otherwise the app works well).

    The quality overall isnt too bad but i feel it could use some improvement. Also it really isnt as simple to figure out how to work the app and telescope its self. Wish there was some sort of carrying cade for ease as well.

    My father loved it. Easy navigation with the app that helps him find whatever he’s looking for in the sky. Had an initial issue with a code for an additional app they include but their tech team is super responsive and got it squared in no time.

    Allows you to have an excellent view. Easy assembly, but may suggest something a little more simpler for a beginner.
