It is a little tricky getting the camera lined up. You may want to get a 3rd party camera app for your phone. Other than that it works great. Tri-pod is flimsy. Wasn't an issue for us, we just used our Manfrotto tripod.

Not a fan…very shaky and difficult to use accurately. My 5yo was excited too, but couldn’t even keep it still enough to get a good look at the full moon…returned and bought the 130AZ and we love it.

Great starter telescope for my 8 year old. Definitely lighter than anticipated.
Construction is decent, but feels cheap- anxious to see what kind of images that we can get on a good night.

Where do I start. Well this is my first telescope and I purchased it for my 7yo. Took me a while to set up the site finder to get it dialed in. The problem is once I put it back in the back pack I basically have to start all over again. The tripod is either too tight or too loose. You want to be able to move it to search through sky but at the same time if it’s too loose it will. It home position and even with all the jobs tightened down once you place the cell phone adapter on it is too heavy so unable to use that feature. So far I have been able to see the moon and when I found Jupiter and Saturn it did not bring clarity it appears to just be another white dot.
