Extremely disappointed. I wasn't hoping for much, but this..ugh. first off, the instructions are horrible. Take it from the person who puts together boxed furniture. Second, i can see the stars better with my phone. Third, the company said put the telescope together wrong. I was mad that the nat geo logo was upside down. Then i was mad the cap didnt fit. Turns out, that how they put it together. I was able to flip it, but i feel like thay could be why i just wasted 100 bucks on a Christmas gift. Just dont bother with this.

We received this after Christmas. A part was broken so I called the company but no answer. I went online to request replacement. Yesterday, I received parts that were not needed or requested. I’m thinking about returning it.

Really enjoy this telescope. I’ve been looking at the moon with my daughter (6 years old) for the past few days and the view is amazing. We both love it!

Great price but not a very good telescope. Hard to set up. Not very good images.

This has to have the worst assembly instructions of anything I have seen. The diagrams are miniscule and in pale ink. UNREADABLE. It took two days and two people and a lot of swearing. It is not worth the price after getting it set up. I will be returning it. Glad it wasn't for a young astronomer's Christmas gift. Totally changed my opinion of national geographic.

Having owned several telascopes of better quality I thought it necessary to write a review before I even try to go out side with it.
I received this scope from my daughter thinking I could use the phone feature. This is a very flimsy set up and will be very frustrating for a young future star gazer. I am surprised that National Geographic would attach their name to it.

This is a great telescope for the price. I was really surprised by the quality and what i am able to see for the price. Me and my son love using this telescope to look at the Moon.
