    Husband is new at this, and he said this telescope is perfect for beginners. Has some advance technology but does not go over your head. He really liked the versatility of it.

    I had high hopes for the telescope. Never had a chance to use it. The tripod that come with it was very weak and mounting bracket broke when setting up. If it would come with a bit sturdier mount and tripod this may be a nice value product.

    Smaller than expected, but it's a travel/portable telescope so it's actually a really nice size for that purpose. The phone attachment is an amazing feature and I use it so much more than I thought.
