   The telescope is easy to set up. The only bad thing is that it’s a little tricky to adjust and pretty sensitive to the slightest movement. We get great nights staring at the moon and checking out distant stars. The different eye pieces are easy to switch out, but we did label the different containers just so you don’t have to open everyone trying to find the right one.

   I bought this telescope for my son, hoping he will develop interest and passion for astronomy. So, just because there is still good chance that this will became another toy “he doesn’t want to play with anymore” I was looking for inexpensive but effective option. Compared items sold at toys r us, best buy, hobby lobby and internet. Red hundreds of reviews on several different items and finally summed up everything to this model. I am happy with my purchase: it is good quality beginners telescope, efficient enough to really look and see and enjoy the experience, yet not to pricy. I like the glass eye pieces, they really do make difference, in compare with plastic pieces (had chance to handle one of my friends toys r us bought telescope). It is light, easy to set up and boy! the first time we looked at the full moon! It was such a pleasant family activity, real fun, staying late, having picnic at night, watching the moon! Incredible! No matter how many pictures of moon you’ve seen: it is so unbelievable to look at it thru the telescope! It is tricky to catch it and follow it if you are using Barrlow lens, but quite simple with the regular angle viewer. Finder scope also work good with regular angle viewer and is not very useful with the extender or Barlow lens. Now we are planing a camping trip in October to watch stars. That means, we need to look for a proper case for this thing, because it doesn’t come with any bag or case. Again, this is beginners telescope, don’t expect to make a stunning discovery with it, if you are into astronomy or have a student who is taking astronomy, go look for something more expensive. But this is perfect telescope for beginners or younger kids, or for families to explore and have fun together. Best price on the internet!

   Bought this for my 9 year old grandson for Christmas. Very easy to assemble and has a fantastic zoom for star gazing, etc. The adjustable legs are also very convenient, for height adjusting. He loves everything about the telescope and was very excited to use it.
