good beginner telescope.

Given that using an equatorial telescope is inherently time consuming and requires a lot of patience this poorly designed and manufactured device will discourage most beginners, and end up in a storage locker or as a never-used showpiece

Seems like a great beginners scope, really does take a lot to get it set up though.

The PowerSeeker's are not good beginner telescopes.

Good beginners telescope.

A very nice beginner's telescope

The images you see are pretty good for a beginner as well

my main issues, - beginners need good working equipment to enjoy the experience

I think this is a good beginner scope, but some may want to invest a few more dollars up front if the cheap feel is going to ruin your time star gazing.

This is a great beginner scope for the money

Well for Christmas we planned on getting her a good "beginner telescope"

Great for me as a beginner ..the moon looks freaking awesome with this

This marketed as an easy beginner telescope

Do your research and save up for a real beginner scope recommended by astronomy forums (subreddit r/telescopes for starters) instead of going with your top search result with decent “star” rating.

Great beginners telescope.

Great beginner telescope!

Great beginner scope - learn RA & Dec. techniques and see good stuff!

Meade has a series of telescopes called "STARNAVIGATOR" that are excellent beginner telescopes, but cost a bit more.
