This was the most awesome gift!!! My children’s grandmother always says she loves them to the moon and back. She is able to view this keepsake and think of them. They enjoyed changing colors and playing with the many light up options!!!

Absolutely brilliant little kit my son always likes to video when he's doing football or on his scooter he was o er the moon with this for his birthday as he always used his phone previously

Bought this for my 10 yr old and she loves it! Favorite gift of all. I had no idea the colors would be so vibrant and the features would represent the moon so closely. Great buy. Thinking of buying another for myself!

If you like looking for stars, don't buy this scope. If you like looking at stars, buy this scope. Having purchased a $2k scope I went and purchased the $40 phone app (SkySafari Pro) that would let me get the most out of it. The Celestron app has a much (much) smaller database but it does include some audio content, if you are into that.Couple points.1. If you download SkySafari make sure to delete the free Celestron app. I ran into problems with these apps conflicting. Save yourself some headache and commit to one or the other.2. Alignment. I had trouble aligning the scope until I committed to three stars that formed a triangle and were easy to identify. I'm in the Northern hemisphere so those stars were Sirius, Regulus, and Betelgeuse. I have been using these stars and alignment works every time.3. The red dot finder. I used the moon to align it. Loosen the clutches and manually center the scope on the Moon. Use the wheels on the RDF to align it to the Moon. Mine does not align to the center of the Moon. It's a little high and to the right. This actually works out pretty well. When I align to a star I just align the star the correct distance from the red dot. This way the star is never eclipsed by the red dot. Main thing is to be aware that your RDF may not perfectly align with the star but that will not matter. It's still usable and maybe preferable this way.4. The light gathering ability of this scope is amazing. The Moon is blinding in the included 40mm eyepiece. It is sharp with 3d shadow detail. Jupiter is to bright for simple phone pictures through the eyepiece.5. I purchased an 18mm Celestron X-Cel eyepiece and 2x barlow to get a sense of how I could push this scope. I put the barlow on the included 13mm eyepiece converting it to a 7.5 and the details on the moon were astonishing. I didn't think I would be able to use eyepieces in the 7mm range but for the Moon at least they put you right into the craters.6. The tripod is solid stuff. The single arm and alt-azimuth is certainly a limitation. But the scope itself can be mounted on an equatorial mount if you ever want to do serious astro photography.Celestron really thought through what is needed for a great night of star viewing. Just fantastic. Totally satisfied.

I really like all the colors and the detail in the actual moon itself. The remote control works very well. My only complaint is the battery life is not as long as I was expecting, although most lamps are always plugged anyways.

This is great when you have a kid that wants to learn how to use one. This will get them ready for a bigger one as they improve their skills and how to. My daughter was looking at stars and the moon and really enjoys exploring the night sky.

This is absolutely amazing. Just what my kids were looking for. They sleep with it on every night. They are ages 9 and 10. Image Quality of the stars and moon are great and the color choices are just enough. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

Product just arrived today. No moon tonight Mercury was lit though. First time I picked up a piece in years and would definitely recommend this kit for the price...Mercury dude.- The guy who never writes reviews.
