Great starter telescope, good value

This was a gift for my wife. Easily assembled. She was pleased with its performance the first night we used the telescope. Everything worked as expected. Good quality for the price. We are novices so we have had to research the purpose and use of the different eyepieces and the Barlow tubes.

A lot of fun

It's a good telescope for beginners. There is a lot of fun assembling it. The objective lens is only 60mm. But you can't complain that on this price. Besides, it contains many accessories.

Better than the price suggests

For the price it can't be beat! I can't believe that amount of stuff that comes with it too! A great starter scope and more powerful than I thought.

Buy This!!!

This is my 2nd telescope in my life. I?m thoroughly pleased with this purchase . It was easy enough to assemble myself as I put it off for over 2 months thinking it would be difficult. The instruction booklet could be clearer for assembly and use. I still am not fully able to use it due to some confusion with the usage instructions. The finder is amazing! I?ll keep at it. Most online purchases leave me disappointed and I don?t leave reviews. But this is the exception . I still give it 5 stars although I?d recommend redoing the instructions for usage by a qualified educator or from the perspective of someone who has beginner / intermediate experience. As a filmmaker and avid astrophotographer I know I?m gonna have nothing but fun and amazement with my new telescope. Thank you Adorama.
