    • it provided a nice feel and great site of the moon and some stars
    • Sometimes has troubles finding the right star
    • :) the moon looks awesome, we saw a few stars as well
    • *any * detail, the stars look like comets with a 1970s TV camera light burst effect.
    • You're getting a entry level scope that is capable of wonderful star gazing
    • Stars at the very center are sharp, but as stars near the edge of the field of view they take on coma - they become teardrop shaped or comet shaped.
    • meaning every star and planet looks blurry and blown out.
    • Spent many hours just trying to get it to produce decent star images - NG.Almost guaranteed to discourage any new would-be-astronomers
    • Not the brightest star or planet of which where were plenty to be seen by the naked eye.
    • and even some bright stars in the light polluted city i lived in
    • So I picked a brighter star which complicates things because of the apparent motion, but allows you to easily see what it is you are supposed to be looking for
    • We've successfully viewed Venus and Mars, as well as various stars so far, and eagerly await an early rising Saturn and Jupiter later this year.
    • It's definitely a nice gift for someone who has everything and loves the stars.

    • 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.
    • Tasco Newtonian years ago that showed crisp star images and great views of the Planets
    • You can easily see Saturn, Jupiter, the Pleiades, many different galaxies and nebulae, and some fun double stars
    • n’t recommend extending the ‘feet’ much, if at all, or it shakes pretty badly

    • If you are a beginner and want to look at things "out of the box" get yourself a refractor and spend as much as you can afford on it
    • Unfortunately, this telescope "works" as it was designed to work, which is poorly
    • not as well as you can with more premium telescopes
    • We finally found someone who has experience with telescopes and he said it has a defect of some kind or is just missing a
