    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.

    I have taken this thing out a couple of times since I got it and can't get a good view of anything. I just tried for a 3rd time to see the lunar eclipse and can't even get moon in focus. Something doesn't seem right with it.
