   I used this telescope with a filter to watch the 2017 solar eclipse and was not disappointed. With the filter, I watched the sun spots traverse the sun surface for several days before the eclipse with good clarity. I actually bought a really nice tripod to replace the low-quality one that comes with the telescope and a solar filter to watch the 2017 eclipse, but I didnt mind, because the telescope was so inexpensive to begin with. All of the equipment fits neatly in the backpack that came with the telescope.

   I bought this for my little sister, and she loves it. I figured it would be a great way to get her off the digital screen and onto something more "mind engaging." I showed her all of the constellations, and now she is thrilled every time she finds one. I do not regret a single thing about this purchase and has been a great investment for both my sister and I. 10/10

   I bough this as a started for my kid and I and couldn’t be happier. Yes it is not a top of the line and compare to high end tripods it’s the not sturdiest tripod as others notes. However it work excellent for a starter telescope. Very easy to set up and store. Excellent product.

   Bought this telescope for our summer road-trip. Threw it into one of the cubby holes in our RV. It was very easy to set up, and stores nicely in the included and padded little backpack. It came in handy several times - looking at planets and the moon while at Lake Powell. Then during the eclipse, I covered the lenses with some solar viewing film, and the kids loved it! I wish it were a little stronger, but you can't beat the value and features for the price.

   I got this as an upgrade to my folding telescope for watching ships passing by in the Sound. It works quite well for that. On clear days, I can even see clear across to the other side well enough to pick out meaningful features like houses & docks.

   My hubby and son where highly entertained looking at the moon last night and I was able to get this shot of the moon using my camera phone. So far I'm happy with it but I still have a lot more experiment to do with it when we eventually start traveling again. It was well priced for all that it is able to do.

   More a spotter scope than an astronomy scope but it is good for portability and entry level. The max mag out of the box is too low for planetary observation but deep sky objects are fine and the lunar surface. The tripod is segmented so you can easily use on a tabletop or extend to stand on the ground. Alt-azimuth is rudimentary but a little smoother than other scopes in this price range. Comes with a backpack which makes this an excellent portability solution.

   This was a gift for my mom. She said it looked like a great scope for beginners and was quite pleased with the backpack and weight for portability. She feels it an excellent telescope for this price range, so I feel it made an excellent gift. She said it looked like it would be easy to set up as well.

   This is an easy to use telescope that can easily be carried around. There is one spot that the tilting adjuster doesn’t cover so you have to either hold or move your telescope if you need that exact spot. Overall, it’s a great price and a good telescope for beginners. I took these photos by holding my phone up to the lens.

   Now that I have time to look to the skie this is a great way to do that. As far as I can tell this is a great telescope. I then purchased a phone mount and I've been able to take great pictures of the moon and Mars. Plus I was able to take a fantastic video of the moon appearing to pass by.
