    Smaller than expected, but it's a travel/portable telescope so it's actually a really nice size for that purpose. The phone attachment is an amazing feature and I use it so much more than I thought.

    I have taken this thing out a couple of times since I got it and can't get a good view of anything. I just tried for a 3rd time to see the lunar eclipse and can't even get moon in focus. Something doesn't seem right with it.

    Putting together out of box has been easy. We have not installed the phone connection but looking through telescope with kids was amazing for them to see the sun up close.

    It's an okayish telescope. The biggest complaint about this is that the stand is not very stable and wiggles around a lot, even though everything is tightened. The telescope does and okay job.

    Perfect beginner's telescope; an early Christmas present for my husband so he could view Jupiter and Saturn, the closest they had been in 800 years.

    Didn't get it for Xmas as I ordered was a week late! Ordered in plenty of time for Xmas. And it's not for a beginner as it says. Very disappointed but no energy to fight Best Buy return.
