3.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Telescope - Very poor set of instructions, September 27, 2010

I just received this telescope this weekend. The telescope works well, I was able to see Jupiter and three of her moons the first night I set it up. However, the instructions included are virtually useless. The manual is printed in 5 languages, which means it's virtually useless, in 5 languages. There are three eyepieces, three extension tubes of some sort and no description of how each is properly used or what function they might serve. The talking sky guide will likely prove to be just as challenging, I haven't tried it yet.

The telescope while very nice is difficult to use. First the manual is not very good and fails to tell you how to align the spotting scope. It has a very nice vernier movement for the horizontal, but for vertical adjustments you have to do this by hand. it makes it very hard to center on and view small objects.

The sky talk feature is also not very good, and with poor instructions. We could not get it to go past the first or second object it identified. I did help us to identify Jupiter, and we were able to see three of the moons very clearly with the telescope. It took a couple nights of work to get that into view.
