I bought this as a gift for my husband for his birthday. He wanted something not to fancy, easy to use, but good quality, and this is exactly all those things. It took a little trial and error to get it set up just right, but once he did he was astounded by the clarity of what he could see! I highly recommend for just the causal telescope user.

We just got back from camping in West Texas there is nothing out there but you and the stars. I took this for my two little boys to use and basically they put it together themselves read through the instructions and used during our stay. This Telescope topped our camping experience even more by having it with us while out there.

We are very new to owning one of these so its us it is perfect. Easy to assemble and easy to put away.

The media could not be loaded. These are great telescopes an astronomy newbie.
I installed the telescope according to the instructions and video, very simple. Actually I did it during work, built it up in about 20mins.

I first aimed at the moon with a 25mm eyepiece, and then switched to a 10mm. The moon became very large like it was in front of me. Lately the moon was big for a few days it was REALLY COOL - the moon was big and clear in the scopes, I could see the craters on the moon. LOVE IT!

Also the setup was very straightforward - the mount is very sturdy and comes with two slow motion control cables that let me make fine adjustments. The AZ mount is very smoothy, without the slightest stutter, and it rotates to the position I want it to be quickly.

The telescope come with a mobile phone holder (it may be a phone adapter? ) so I can install my iPhone on the eyepiece and take great photos. I posted some photos on social media and many people commented on the clarity and detail of the photos. Maybe when the weather is good I could see Saturn and Jupiter later, not sure.
It is worth noting that when the phone is installed on the telescope, the two slow motion control cables of the AZ mount should be tightened first to fix the position. Otherwise, the weight of the phone will cause the telescope to move and deviate.

Overall, the lenses, accessories, tripod and materials are very good for their value. I will consider buying another pair as a Christmas gift for my nephew he'd love it too.

I am a beginner telescope user, this unit was very easy to set up and focus. A great unit with which to learn.

Nice beginners telescope. It has an attached scope to aim the telescope and an adapter allowing you to take pictures through the eyepiece using your phone's camera. Assembly was easy. Overall satisfied. My kid really enjoyed watching moon and stars and shown interest in exploring more about space, which is worth it! Good product for gifting to kids.
