  • Great for hobbiests who want to see planets!
I love this telescope. This is my first real telescope, but I have had several smaller ones. You can easily see the moon very close up and with the higher magnification lenses you can see planets such as Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. It is difficult to see the planets any bigger than shown in the pictures unless it is a very clear night with no moisture in the air. However, you can easily see the rings around Saturn and Jupiter's red spot on a clear night if you get the focus just right. ... show more

  • Pure quality
By far the best telescope I've had best bang for the buck and overall just a quality scope. I can see Venus still working on Jupiter and I can count the craters on the moon with the 20mm and a 3x barlow. The 4mm piece is the only bad thing about the telescope do yourself a favor and buyba quality 6mm instead ... show more

  • Nice Beginner's Telescope - After Some Work
This is my first telescope. But I had put in a lot of time to learn about telescopes before I made a choice for a beginner’s telescope. I had my doubts about this scope when I first used it. The scope came with the cap for the secondary mirror (which had adhesive to keep it in place) stuck to the primary mirror. When I pulled it off it left a smudge of adhesive on the mirror. I had also bought a laser collimator with the scope only to find that this is a Bird Jones style scope requiring partial disassembly to use a laser collimator. Also, the primary mirror is not center dotted. This all seemed like more potential work that I really wanted to take on as a novice. I called Celestron to ask if the primary mirror smudge was an issue, they said it was not. I also asked why the primary mirror is not center dotted for collimation and they said the scope was collimated at the factory and would not need collimation by the consumer. The Celestron rep was helpful and patient with my questions, so no problem there. I was under-whelmed with my first two viewings. The only easy target at the time was Jupiter. It was rather fuzzy and undefined. And so I undertook to disassemble the scope to center dot the primary mirror and laser collimate it. It definitely needed collimation. The secondary mirror was way off. And of course the primary mirror was off too as expected after I disassembled it. To my relief, all of this was pretty easy to do. I had the whole project done in about 30 minutes. And that did the trick. Jupiter resolved nice and sharp. I could see the cloud bands and the four moons were sparkling jewels. Better yet, Saturn was now up. What an awesome sight! Beyond my expectations. I could see the rings clearly to the degree that I could tell how they oriented around the plant (with a 12.5mm eyepiece and a 2x Barlow). I couldn’t make out the Cassini Division, but I was very impressed with the detail and clarity provided by this beginner’s scope. So now, for the money, I’m very pleased with this scope. But those contemplating purchase should know that this is a Bird Jones style scope and it may need collimation to get the most out of it. One last note: the eyepieces supplied are not very impressive, but useable. I bought a set of Plossl eyepieces (20mm, 12.5mm, 6mm) and a 2x Barlow under the assumption they will still be of good use if I upgrade to a better telescope in the future. I think that was a good supporting purchase. ... show more

  • It provides a fantastic view of the moon as well
I took this up to the mountains camping. As my first telescope, this was a blast to use. It is powerful enough to view Saturn and its rings, along with Jupiter and five moons at the time I was looking. It provides a fantastic view of the moon as well. Well worth the money.

  • A Good Value
The reflector telescope has a decent-sized 4.5-inch aperture. The tripod is very sturdy. It's got an alt-az mount with an unusual slow-motion alt controller. The finderscope is the red-dot type, which many people prefer. It has two typical Kellner eyepieces and also a valuable 3x Barlow lens. A good value. ... show more

  • Makes the moom seem so close
My granddaughter and I have been checking out the stars and the planets. We had a little trouble trying to figure it out at first because we were going to fast when we were trying to focus and we shot right past it. After we had a friend show us to slow down, we were able to see it and haven't stopped looking at the stars since. A great way to bond with the younger generation!! ... show more

  • Didn't work out of the box
Find a model that you can buy a replacement starfinder because sooner or later your going to need one. The starfinder didn't work right out of the box. Tested the battery and it was good. Poor instructions on how to get to the battery and how to turn on and off the view finder, had to find a youtube video. I would like buy another one but, cannot find a replacement so I must return telescope or pay to have one shipped back and forth from the factory. A warranty replacement would cost more in shipping than the part is worth with no guarantee that I just won't get another bad one and have to pay to have it replaced. ... show more
