    It is a good telescope for beginners. The Moon and the stars look great. If you are interested in astrophotography this telescope is good for that hobby.

    i am a first time user with this product so all i can say is that it is very nice and user friendly. The app works nice. It has to be a really clear night to enjoy the planets.

    Great scope for star gazing and planets. Fair price for a scope of this size. Nice for all age groups. Fits easily on our car, I would recommend additional eye pieces.

    Great starter telescope As indicated by the price. It could use some higher quality parts. Some cheap plastic in there but that’s to be expected at this price

    It has great magnification out of the box. Can readily see Jupiter’s moons and the ring of Saturn. Hadn’t had much luck with the phone app yet but still working on it.
