    Disappointed in the tripod, it is very flimsy so not useful at all for sky watching or other moving objects like animals. For these purposes, another mounting device that is steady is necessary. Also, the manual shows that a moon filter was supposed to be included, but it was not. So far, due to the shaking on the tripod, I haven't had much opportunity to evaluate the scope itself.

    The accessories make this a decent travel scope. It’s easy to set up. A fairly stable tripod stand. But, it is best for seated viewing. A Good value.

    Needs a sturdier Frame/Stand

    It is a really good beginner telescope. However, I would invest in a much sturdier frame. The image shakes and moves so much in the viewer every time you lightly touch the telescope.

    This is a really nice telescope for people who are mildly interested in seeing planets and stars. Its not the best telescope in the world, you’re not going to see lizard people living on Uranus, but for the price its really adequate

    It's definitely a beginner's telescope. I expected more from Celestron but i would buy for a kid not so much for myself.
