Not really suitable to view terrestrial objects.
The tripod is very flimsy and difficult to maintain alignment. It may be moe appropriate as a siting or spotting tool.

For a lower priced telescope it’s really great! Very easy to assemble and we got it in time to see the Bethlehem star. We couldn’t see much detail but it was very cool.

We're just starting to use it and getting to know this telescope. It is a bit complicated for us to figure out, its our first one ever, so not very beginners friendly. Set up was ok but wished it came with a little more information. Its also a bit flimsy or delicate.

This is a basic telescope for both land and astronomical viewing. The interchangeable lenses work well and clarity is very good. lt is a very good basic telescope.

Pretty nice telescope once you learn how to focus and use it. Goes pretty far. I can see the moon. Not as close. But you can see it. The bumps and rigids

Telescope is nice but a little awkward to use due to the fact that the tripod is so short. Instructions were a little complicated but seems to do the job.

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.
