    I had bought this as a gift, perfect needless to say. This is really nice with user friendly capabilities, awesome and the Moon looks two feet away. Very nice product.

    This is a nice beginner telescope. It’s a bit difficult to use with the phone app, but once you get the laser sited in, you can use that. It was fairly easy to assemble.

    Really good for looking at the night sky. It is hard to set up the finder and i still have trouble with it. But when you actually find what you are looking for the view is amazing!

    Just came in missing the sheet, and with bent screws. Except theres also a little black dot that appears regardless of me cleaning it to make sure that absolutely nothing was on the mirrors.

    Great telescope. It is a Christmas present for a valedictorian-to-be 16 year old daughter. She loves it and loved seeing the moons of Jupiter. - Not a drawback, but for informational purposes only: First telescope had a light in the viewfinder that flickered mostly off (same as other reviews we read). BestBuy replaced it immediately without issue. because it was a timely Christmas holiday gift, I bought a second one and returned the first one to cut down on wait time. Mark C / Hamilton AL 1/24/22
