 Not worth the moneyAug 02, 2010
I bought this telescope with the idea to use to see the moon with it, and maybe do a little bird watching, and things like that. Well, it came with some nice software to track the planets and stars with. The software is far more interesting than the telescope, and it gave me false hope that this telescope was good for seeing some of the larger planets, maybe. It works fine during daylight hours, but at night there is not enough light, even when focused on a street light! The tripod fell apart the second day. I have yet to be contacted by customer support at [...] I do not think the listed price at the store of $200 for this model was accurate. Perhaps it is time to return it and get my money back.
 Not bad for the $$$Apr 27, 2010
I bought this for terrestrial viewing. First, this is a $40 scope. Don't expect the Hubble here...
For my purposes this works fairly well. Seems well constructed, tripod is nice. As others have mentioned, you won't get anywhere near the max mag specified. Best images are using the 20mm eyepiece. I get decent, if dark, images using the 4mm piece. The Barlow lens is worthless, even using the 20mm (though i'm not sure why--should be less magnification with Barlow + 20mm than with 4mm alone). All in all, pretty good for the money.
 Meh...Apr 08, 2010
it works okay, the construction is good and the quality is fine, but this thing isn't much more powerful than my binoculars. it's on a tripod which helps to find the images and it makes it more stable and less shaky, but the power level leaves much to be desiered...
 GREAT for a first telescope!!!Mar 24, 2010
We purchased this telescope for our son as an 8th birthday present. We were a little skeptical due to the scope being so inexpensive. Not wanting to spend a fortune on a telescope if our son was not interesed, this one had the right price. We definitely make the right choice. We are thrilled with the quality! We can see the moon so clear and in great detail. We and our son love using it. I would highly recommend this scope as first.
good enough for the moneyMar 08, 2010
My husband has been wanting something better than his binoculars to see the moon and stars. He is satisified with this purchase. Not amazing but good enough for basics.
