Gave us goosebumps seeing craters on the moon! It took us a few tries to focus the telescope but once we did we were outside every clear night looking at the moon and Jupiter and stars. Worth the price. Literal goosebumps seeing the moon.

Most of all, I liked the completeness of this telescope kit and its value-for-money proposition. Its an appealing package of a powerful telescope with good light gathering capability and quality lens, plus all the viewing accessories - 2 eyepieces and 3x Barlow lens, tripod, phone adapter, solar filter, Bluetooth remote, etc.
I would start using this telescope with a pair of binoculars (to easily locate desired viewing targets) and the lower power 25 mm eyepiece, as this gives you a larger field-of-view (FOV) for initial viewing. You can use the higher magnification eyepieces for more detail, but beware! The target will be harder to find, but you will get better as you practice. You may also want to buy solar and lunar filter lenses for these bright objects, it would be nice if the manufacturer included more of these in the package... Happy stargazing!!

Easy set up and was fun. Been enjoying it every chance I get too. Three of my friends are thinking about getting one. Would highly recommend this product. I’ve watch hawks in my yard and other birds. Love it.

It is the best present that I have given my wife for her Birthday, since we witnessed the Total Eclipse in the solar corridor in August 2017. It has a solar filter, really great for the upcoming eclipse.This is a high quality professional grade telescope that is easy to assemble and use.

We are total beginners/newbies with a telescope. Assembly was fairly easy, the directions were easy to follow and thorough, which I appreciate. I was able to watch several iTunes videos on how to use a telescope, got to love the internet! With nothing to compare it to I will not fault it! Overall it’s a decent choice for a new astronomer!

Yields clear images of objects in our solar system. It is lightweight and portable.

My daughter is delighted with this telescope because she is passionate about stars. She has been able to take photos and videos of the moon as well as Jupiter. She can grab her backpack and go anywhere to sit and watch the night sky when the clouds allow her to do so.
It's a great gift and very high-performance equipment. Now, I would like to order him some new filters so that she can continue to have her head in the stars. ;)

Purchased telescope for 15th birthday, teen was already interested in all things space related so the telescope is perfect! Easy to assemble & use, the size & weight allows for ease of movement, adjustments are simple & scope is clear. Highly recommend!
