purchased a telescope for my husband. He really likes it.

This telescope, in my opinion, is well worth the money with the inclusion of multiple accessories and is extremely easy to use. Took a little time to learn how to focus but after that it's no problem. Laser collimating is a breeze and when youve set it up, on a cool night, by the time you're done collimating and setting it up, you'll be ready to view. Using the right angle finder is alright. It's really difficult finding objects far from any constellations and bright obvious stars. Observed the Ring Nebula and the Double Stars in Lyra and I detected a slight tinge of color in the Nebula. Of course is bright and beautiful but I was fascinated just for the fact that I could see it. My only complaint is that the scope balance is a little iffy with objects close to the horizon like Saturn currently. The scope dips down and you kind of have to prop it up and it doing that, it makes the image shake. It's possible that there's a solution to this but I haven't bothered and it's not really that big of a deal because there's plenty more to see in the sky.

What a nice piece of equipment, flat right out to the edges. Never leaves my scope.

I bought the telescope as a surpise gift for my husband but, it has turned into a gift for the entire family! We love it!! The views of the moon are spectacular!! Great buy and so easy to assemble!!

This telescope can deliver stunning images of the Moon and Jupiter. The moon through this scope looks like a NASA picture. I would recommend purchasing the ultimate bundle and using the 6mm eyepiece for looking at the moon and Jupiter. Telescope took about two hours to set up. Make sure to use the knobs on the finder scope so that you can align it easily. Make sure to use the focus knob if objects look like donuts. This telescope has a large database and a sturdy tripod. I would highly recommend this affordable telescope.
