I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves it!!! The assembly only took about 45mins and he was able to see several planets/stars very clearly. I would definitely recommend this telescope to anyone that is looking for a ‘starter’ telescope.

Product as stated. I would recommend that you also purchase the padded carry bag.

This telescope is amazing! Finally took it out on a clear night in Florida, I checked out Jupiter and I was astonished. The detail in a slightly light polluted sky. I was blown away. I would suggest getting a barlow lens, i went with the 3x multiplier and i decided to also get a zoom lens(8mm-23mm). I am extremely happy with this telescope, it was my 1st investment in one since my dad bought me one when i was little. Oh yeah, get a moon filter too, your eyes will appreciate it.

Telescope was given as a gift. Have been told this was the best gift ever. Easy to use and loads of fun.

This scope is super easy to setup and easy to use!! I’m very green when it comes to telescopes. This one is great for this reason! Only need to know anything but point and view! =]
