Images are awesome but hard to set up. Instructions were a joke and I was not able to download the software they say cane with the telescope purchase. And others they gave in package no longer exist. I will be returning it today

Fun for kids, not for real stargazing. it does give a person and idea and comes with several attachments. The tripod is very flimsy. OK for starter scope.

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.

easy set up and easy to use; I love how compact and user friendly the travel scope is; I like to put it in my back pack and hike to top of a mountain to get a better view at the stars.
