Customers regard the Starsense Explorer DX 130AZ Telescope as user-friendly, providing great image quality for the price. Many find it easy to assemble, set up, and move around due to its lightweight design. However, some customers have noted issues with stability at higher magnification, and some find the app functionality to be poor.

    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.
