    First telescope

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First telescope I buy and it has performed as expected. From my city with usually foggy skies and much light pollution I've been able to see Moon craters, Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings. Easy to mount and use. Also good for terrestrial observation. The only shortcoming I see is that the aim always moves down somewhat inmediately after locking the handle. Maybe the tripod isn't rigid enough. But overall I'm happy with this purchase.

    Easy to assemble and use. This is my first telescope and though it doesn’t get as close as I want, I can still see so much more than i could with just my eyes. My niece loves it too

    This worked better than expected. I would definitely recommend if you are a hunter or just like looking at the stars.
