    Simple, very cost effective and great alternative to costlier branded products. We find it very much effective and economic with pretty sufficient features.

    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.

    Average starter 'scope ☾★

    Takes quite a bit of patience and a steady hand to focus it - and keep it focused - especially on windy nights. The smartphone adapter is not compatible with my iPhone 13 pro, so this piece & the bluetooth shutter remote are useless. BUT overall, an okay starter 'scope for the price!

    I purchased this as a christmas gift for my husband. Size of the product is great, although looking through is blurry even with adjustments. Unable to download the booklet/manual provided on our cell phones, tablets, or computers.

    I purchased this telescope for my son. It was inexpensive but appeared to have everything necessary for him to be able to see the moon and some planets. However, it really didn’t seem to focus very well and we ended up returning it. I would not recommend it.
