 Great amateur telescopeSep 03, 2010
It will suprise how stable and clear images this telescope is providing. The images looks clear and if is provided in a stable surfice, the image will not move at all. It is small and can take it almos anywhere. It easy to use (you really don't need the manual). The extras are not really necesary, it depends of how much use you will give it, you will know if you want it when you fist buy the telescope.

Great for Beginners! Gets you looking at the moon and the stars quick and easy. Better packaging was to be desired. Shipped in original box with little padding but it survived. checked it out on arrival and everything was ok.
Awesome TelelscopeAug 04, 2010
I bought this item for my son's birthday 7th today and turned out to be an awesome product. The interchangeable lenses make the experience a great one. Will be purchasing the accessory kit that comes separately for the telescope. No issues with shipping and arrived on time for sure.
 Sorry To Say It Sucked For MeAug 02, 2010
I purchased this scope with great anticipation to practice before getting a 'real' one. I hate to say it, I really do, but I couldn't even focus on the moon. The finderscope, in my humble opinion should be placed directly where the eyepiece is while the eyepiece should be on the side...dunno. I was disappointed. Didn't return it, though, because for one, I did take it to a store that told me it works, and I do plan to try again, but, I'm already moving on to an Orion, anyhow.
Good Starter ScopeJul 26, 2010
This telescope is not a toy, and for the price, you can learn much from it. You will discover, due to the scopes limitations, the importance of a larger aperture and better quality eyepieces. If you put a little time into learning more about the night sky, via a good book or the internet, you will find each clear night an adventure filled with increasingly familiar objects. If you catch the fever, then you will be ready to buy a scope capable of seeing so much more. Don't waste money trying to improve this scope. Learn from it, and then spend your money wisely on something with as large an aperture and the best quality eyepieces you can afford. This starter scope can teach you a lot, and is well worth the small price. Just don't expect to see much very clearly beyond the Moon and Jupiter and 4 of its moons, especially if you live in a city.
