    Bought as a gift for our granddaughter. she has used it once since Xmas and said it was easy to set up but she couldn't get a very good picture through her phone. She is planning to play with it more when weather permits.

    Bought this telescope for my husband, who is an astronomy fanatic. He loved seeing the moon (which looked amazing) and two other planets that looked like very bright stars. Price wasn’t bad and quality was okay.

    Good for an entry level. Difficult to steady objects as tripod is not stiff enough to steady scope movement while looking with the eye. Best to use phone camera & not touch when lined up.

    I bought this for my wife as she wanted to start taking pictures of the moon. Although it does do what it says, it does not get too close, my cellphone camera had better zoom. And just like my cell phone the wobble on the tripod made it almost impossible to see anything. It was okay but ultimately returned it.

    This is a good quality & affordable beginner's telescope. If you are a stargazer, keep in mind the moon & stars travel across the sky faster than we think. Expect to be continuously moving the telescope to keep an object in view. If you want to catch a child's interest, you might consider one with a computerized motor control.
