Amazing!

I got this as a gift, and I am very happy with it! The moon is sharp and clear once I can find it, and I can see Saturn and it's rings. Jupiter and its 4 Galilean are also visible and crisp. The tripod is a bit unstable, but it is usable. I bought a moon filter, a 4mm eyepiece, and a 5x Barlow lens to enhance viewing. The telescope is amazing and inexpensive. I definetely would recommend. 5/5

as a beginner and incredibly amateur astronomer i love this telescope

as a beginner and incredibly amateur astronomer i love this telescope, it's easy to set up and simple to operate, just find the celestial object you want with the finder-scope then enjoy your view, this is not a high powered telescope so you won't get sharp images of distant objects, it's perfect for viewing constellations, the moon and nearby planets but not so great for dim nebulae and galaxies

5 Stars for this Telescope

Arrived quickly, as described and packaged perfectly, It comes with a backpack that you can use to store or easily transport the telescope. This was a gift for a 10 year old just beginning to be curious with the night sky. Great "bonding" activity, and we are learning as we go. We also purchased the Celestron Sky Maps book, which we would recommend if you are just beginning the star gazing adventure. Love this product!

Amazing telescope for such a great price!

I got this for my dad and based off the high quality of the telescope, he thought I paid a crazy amount for it! It comes in a nice little backpack and there is even a little extra room to put other stuff in there as well. I didn’t take a picture of the whole thing put together but it is wonderful! The quality is so amazing and the price is such a steal for the quality. If you’ve read this far and if this review helped at all, please click “helpful”!

Great for staring at the moon 🌘

Great little telescope for checking out the moon, haven't really tried doing anything else with it though. Bought mine last August and have had lots of fun with it since then. I use my iPhone to take pictures through the lense and have gotten some great shots.

It does exactly what it was designed to do

I don't know why people are expecting the results of the Hubble Telescope in the reviews. It does exactly what it's designed to do. It takes the moon and makes it look like a large marble that's placed a few inches from your eye that's in pretty good focus. You can see some craters on the Moon, but you can't see Niel Armstrong's footprints. You can see the rings of Saturn, but you can't count them like a tree that's been cut in half. I'm not sure why some individuals have ridiculous expectations for something that's less than $100... There are better scopes out there, sure, but it's a great beginner scope for kids and amateurs. I got this for my 7 year old who has shown interest in the Cosmos. If he really gets into it, I'll invest more later and pass this to his younger siblings. For right now, it's perfect. The frame is light, but the scope is light and doesn't need a heavy duty frame. It holds the scope, which is what it's designed to do. All the pieces were accounted for, and it came with a backpack so it can be taken on trips so you don't need to buy a separate case to hold it when you're traveling in the car or walking somewhere. It does what it was designed to do. Great for kids and amateurs at a modest price to see nature, take it to a long distance shooting range, see space a bit better, and anything else that is legal to do. If you want to see a nebula, and have a few thousand dollars to spare, go for it and buy that kind of scope. For the normal people with real expectations, this is a great telescope for beginners and kids. Well worth the investment if you're unsure if you want to invest a large amount of money to see footprints on the Moon. Take care!

The tripod does feel flimsy like some other reviewers have said

We love this! The tripod does feel flimsy like some other reviewers have said, but that’s really it. The rest of the telescope exceeds my expectations of one that costs less than $100. The attached picture is of the super moon from January 1, 2018. I held my phone up to the telescope and took it. Not too shabby.

No need to fly to the moon

For the price this is a steal! Got this telescope for my grandfather for his birthday. He is outside a lot on the patio at night and always watches the stars so I figured it was time to give him, what he never knew, he always wanted. A great beginner scope! After focusing the scope properly and taking a glance at the moon it almost feels like you could reach out and grab it. Wonderful!

Love it. Using Panasonic Gx85

I bought this to make a lens out of it and guess what. It's done. Here are some pictures I got with it. Love it. Using Panasonic Gx85.

Excellent telescope

Amazing telescope. I have used a number of telescopes and this is one of the best based on flexibility, ease of use and performance. When mounted on a simple Eq. tracking mount I am getting better pictures than with my C925 that has been a significant source of disappointment. For this price there is no better telescope in the market. Just edited my original review to add a few photos I took last winter, including lovely comet Lovejoy. These photos are from a really dark place and were processed with Photoshop. However, I just needed a 1-minute exposure at 6400 ISO with my Canon DSLR connected directly to the rear of the telescope (no diagonal). Then I mounted the telescope on a regular Eq. Mount (an additional advantage of this telescope is that it is very light so no heavy duty mount is required... however it needs to be properly aligned and you need to be careful not to touch the camera, telescope or mount when taking a photo to avoid vibration). When I bought this telescope I was needing the equivalent of a 400mm to 600mm lens for my Canon DSLR. These lenses cost several thousand dollars so I bought instead this telescope as it was a very low risk investment compared to the potential benefits. As you can see it really paid off....
