    • A step up
Size: 80mm 3.15in Aperture
So I just got this yesterday set it up in about 30 minutes the directions are bad but if you have a little common sense or scan the code on the instruction book it will take you to a setup video I took it out last night not much in the sky but was definitely a step up from my old scope the tripod seem sturdy and move very easy the slow tracking features make it easy I seen some bad reviews about the red dot spotter I didn't have any problems with it and it made it alot easier to find things then my old scope sighting it is was a breeze too I'm no expert and this is only my second scope but I like it ... show more

    • My first telescope.
Size: 102mm 4inch Aperture
Did quite a bit of reading about scopes before purchase. Decided this was the best value on Amazon (in my price range & i was willing to spend a chunk more) because of the type of mount & aperture size. Mount is probably more advanced than i can use, but not so simplistic that I'm not interested in learning it's full potential. Prime delivery is a bad joke now, but it arrived nonetheless. Everything was there, packed for severe shipping abuse, fit together perfectly, & all looks to be of suitable craftsmanship. Had it out of the box, assembled, & figured out the functions in 15 minutes or so. Our moon was very clear & checked out Jupiter with a few of its moons. Only negatives (i knew before purchase) are the phone shutter remote isn't compatible with my phone & looking at anything too directly overhead is back breaking (I'm 5'11", tripods are only made to be just so tall i guess, easily remedied by sitting in a chair or setting it up on a raised platform). It's made in China like everything else but in researching the company i found the instruction video in Chinese; so by my logic they're less likely to make junk product if they're also making it for their own countrymen. I like it & am pleased with the buy. ... show more

I was able to put together just fine. However, I'm not sure how to focus this telescope. It did not come with any written instructions.

    • A surprisingly adequate beginner telescope - just watch the wobbliness

The media could not be loaded. This telescope surprised me - in a good way. I have owned upwards of 60 telescopes, many of them small, beginner ones like this so I can know what to recommend (or not recommend). This one is a useful first step - just know that if the "bug" of astronomy bites you and you want to see more and have a better observing experience - you can with this one! You'll just need to upgrade a few things along the way - all longtime amateur astronomers do. First, let me explain a few of the things I think are important for a beginner telescope: - Sufficient size aperture for lens or mirror - Stable mount / tripods - Useful finderscope - Adequate eyepieces - Decent focuser The thing that many companies do to hit a price point is cut corners on many of these items. In the case of this telescope, some corners were cut - but, I would argue, all of them are ones that will help a beginner know what they want to upgrade in the future while still being able to USE the telescope to actually SEE things in the night sky. Some companies cut corners that make the telescope useless. Not so in this case. That's the kind of thing that matters. This telescope has enough aperture, a usable finderscope and focuser, and the eyepieces are adequate (not two but THREE of them!). The mount and tripod are unfortunately wobbly, but, with a half gallon milk jug filled with sand strapped under the tripod stabilizer / accessory tray, that can be minimized somewhat to make this usable. And, this telescope has a dovetail mount so it can be put on a different, strong mount in the future. And eyepieces can be upgraded too. While the lens on this achromat does exhibit some chromatic aberration (color from not all wavelengths focusing at the same point) this is a known issue for less expensive refractors, and is really only an issue on brighter objects like the Moon, Jupiter and Venus. The cell phone adapter that locks onto the 20mm and 10mm eyepieces is a nice touch, and I did not have much trouble adjusting it to take a photo of a light on a neighbor's garage 200 yards away (it was cloudy when I got the telescope and did the review). And keep in mind, I took that photo not only through a window, but one with a screen, so there's lots of bad things happening in my photo that will not be an issue in an open sky! The barlow seems decent - most in this class of telescope are cheap, plastic ones that are stopped down. This one is metal and does not have a field stop, so all the light coming through the telescope gets to the eyepiece through the barlow. That said, you probably will not NEED to use the barlow, as there are three lenses that will already provide 33x, 66x and 1165x magnification. Honestly, three options is plenty in most cases, and the barlow is not necessary with the 20mm + barlow as it produces the same magnification as the 10mm eyepiece withOUT the barlow. You could maybe use it for the 10mm to get 132x, but using it on the 4mm eyepiece will produce a mushy image as that's trying to squeeze too much light through the eyepiece from this aperture telescope. Overall, and helpfully, you can upgrade almost everything on this telescope over time: Add more eyepieces, swap out the finderscope, even put the telescope on a whole new mount if you want. Truly, for this price, I wish I'd had such an option when I was starting out in astronomy. I'd have probably gotten something like this. It's minimally adequate to get started, and the right price for most people too. Definitely worth considering - just know what the drawbacks are and how to overcome them. Four stars simply because the wobbly/vibrations are a real issue that will not make observing fun at high magnifications if it is windy. But everything else is surprisingly adequate at this price point. ... show more

    • Nice Starter Telescope
Size: 80mm 3.15in Aperture
The overall quality of construction is pretty good, the tripod is stable, the azimuth and latitude adjustments are smooth enough and the optics, while not photo quality are pretty good. This is a bargain priced unit so there are some compromises on the precision of the drives but all of the basic functionality of a much larger telescope is here. I have another well known brand telescope and while it has more precise drives, some are plastic and have occasionally broke. It also cost about five times as much. Refer to the video for assembly as the printed instruction are pretty brief and require paging back and forth from description to parts diagram. It take about 45 minutes from initial unpacking (it's double boxed and all of the vital components are triple bubble wrapped) to having the unit ready to use. From there, It's a two step process to set set up for use. During the daylight hours, align the viewfinder, set the latitude and true north position (use a map app and compass from your phone). Once fully dark, it was pretty easy to initially get objects in view. It's really easy to convert to cell phone camera use. The only drawback to this unit is the lack of a carry case. As most of these sold won't travel much further than living room to deck or balcony that is understandable. If you really get in to this hobby and want to travel to some remote viewing areas, save and re-use the original packaging. I took a picture of the open box before unpacking to enable easy re-packing. ... show more
