4.0 out of 5 stars ***I can see the Moon and lots of dark sky, July 30, 2009

I bought this telescope about 7 years ago. It's great in the sense that most friends of mine have NEVER been to a real observatory and when they see the moon in great detail, they are amazed.

I've been watching the moon for years.! I wish i knew a little more and i could learn to see planets (saturn would be nice).

I gave it a four stars because for the price, it is very durable and works well. I'm sure i can only see the moon because i'm not experienced.

In seven years:
* I lost the little finder that had a cool red lazer pointing to what i wanted to find.
* the mount is not so steady, probably because i leave it out in the sun all day.
* the tightening screw that holds down the eyepiece is lost ( errr, i've lost it)

I probably need to do a little maintenance on it, but like i said, it really surprises my guests and they enjoy it. I just want to see some colored galaxies, but i guess not on this one. My next one is going to cost around $450....but i have enjoyed this one so much.

For a 100$ dollars i think its fine for a beginner.
If you think to go further in astronomy, go for a better telescope.
I give 4 becouse did work.
