4.0 out of 5 stars Clear images
Received for fathers day. Never had a telescope before although I have thought about getting one. Really clear with 3/4 moon giving some dramatic shadows around the craters. Saw a planet that appeared to have two rings around it. Don't know enough astronomy to identify this but will soon. Even with a lot of neighborhood lighting and the street lights my wife and I were...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!
Horrible tripod. Not very secure on mount. Easily shifts or moves making it difficult to keep objects in focus or in view. Bought it for my daughter for Christmas and was extremely disappointed with its cheap plastic construction. I don't recommend you waste your money.

Received for fathers day. Never had a telescope before although I have thought about getting one. Really clear with 3/4 moon giving some dramatic shadows around the craters. Saw a planet that appeared to have two rings around it. Don't know enough astronomy to identify this but will soon. Even with a lot of neighborhood lighting and the street lights my wife and I were quite impressed. I haven't used the fine slo-mo adjustment yet. Typically I began using it before I read all the instructions but am ready for the next clear night to try again. Wish I could hook this up to a digital camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Telescope, May 15, 2007
I bought ths telescope as a gift for my 6 year old nephew. He absolutely loves it. He can't wait until it gets dark outside so that he can see all of the stars. The telescope is clear and comes with several lenses. You can also buy accessories for the telescope. I would highly recommend this for any first time user.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!!!, July 29, 2006
A Kid's Review
I would give this telescope 1000000000000000 stars. The price. THe quality. This telescope kiks. When I looked into it I saw about dozens nebulaes and a few comets. I saw what apeared to be the tad pole galaxy, and andromeda. I saw every single planet and their moons except for pluto's, mercury's. venus's, and a few of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This telescope is the perfect telescope for people ranging from beginners to pros. Awesome!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Telescope, January 17, 2007
We got this telescope for my mom as a Christmas present.She likes it very much,except for two things:It was a little hard to put together,and she has a hard time focusing on an object without the telescope moving around.We don't know if that's her or the telescope (she's still playing with it).

4.0 out of 5 stars Gave as a gift, February 18, 2008
Gave this item as a gift to my father in law. He loves it. Easy to operate, especially for the beginner. He did have some issues with its initial set up, needed some assistance, but now he says it works great. Well worth the money spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For Our Purposes, February 24, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchsed this telescope for my parents to use at their lake home and the optical quality is fantastic, especially for an inexpensive, starter telescope. They've mostly used it to look at nature (eagles, etc.) and boats on the lake and they can get close enough to see what they are catching! Haven't used it to find stars yet, but Im sure it works great.
