BEWARE OF THE BIRD JONES LENS! Collimation is difficult, but not impossible

Mass production/sales and experience/patience are incompatible. This scope is intended for the inexperienced beginner, but it is not. I love this scope but I wouldn't have bought it if I knew the focuser has a Bird Jones lens. This makes it impossible to collimate with a laser collimator. People will claim that you can detach the lens and do it, but that won't work. You should avoid doing this unless you're willing to pull your hair out trying to align mirrors. I still love this telescope and…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Nothing

$400 piece of useless junk! COP WILL NOT HELP TOO!

We are very pleased to have purchased this easy to use telescope. This thing is NOT broadcasting the required Wi-Fi signal so you can connect it to the right network to align it. Excellent. Difficult setup with the SkyAlign app. like that . We thought it wasn't perfect but it's just our luck. You can still align it manually. Allegedly. This function also DOES NOT WORK. We watched every video, followed every instruction. Nothing but "Align failed" error messages over and over again. After two…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expandable

A good telescope for beginners -- Bird-Jones Lens

Great little telescope! The best part is the automatic tracking of the sky. The telescope will track most objects for some time before turning off. This telescope is also quite compact, which is ideal for getting through a door. Although I had some trouble "pointing" it to the sky, I was able to point it to Jupiter with no problems. I'm still new to using it so I haven't figured everything out yet, but everything seems pretty easy. This telescope has a Bird Jones lens, which is not very clear…

Pros
  • Not cheap but neat
Cons
  • For seniors
