Disappointed :(

All I see are stars as I could see them with the naked eye. The telescope is very shaky , even when I put it on my concrete patio. I spent $100 on this for my son. It's ok, but I definitely can't see planets.

Pros
  • Included accessories: U-mount, solid aluminum tripod and K20mm and K9mm eyepieces
Cons
  • Great price

was super to eyepiece

it's well made and a beautiful thing but nobody's mechanical and we absolutely can't figure out how to attach the last eyepiece and the glass pops and rolls. We're looking for travel destinations, but it just doesn't make sense to us. On the balcony but useless.

Pros
  • Magnification: 35x - 78x | Opening: 76 mm (3 in) | Focal length: 700mm (27.6")
Cons
  • the packaging is ugly

Good optics, poor manual guidance system.

ERROR - Telescope does not aim with finderscope. The viewfinder settings are so mediocre as to be unusable. With a real telescope, everything is fine. If you can find your destination. The alignment instructions say: find something on the ground, far in the telescope, then level the finder.1. When trying to align the viewfinder, the device shakes a lot. By the time you get it where you want it to be (using 3 set screws), your main telescope will already be drifting off target.2. 3 adjustment…

Pros
  • viewfinder: 10x30 mm recording | Dimensions: 25.5 x 5.0 x 5.0 | Weight: 8.0 lbs
Cons
  • Expensive
