    We haven't been able to truly use it yet due to cloudy nights but we set it up during the day and had fun looking at flowers half a mile away into the woods.

    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.

    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

    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!

    So far, we love our new telescope! We did buy a Barlow 2x lens to go with it. It was easy to set up, and we’ve enjoyed watching the “Christmas Star”!
