Astronomy Telescope for Beginners Adults

This telescope is for me not a child, I wanted a good quality product which was a good price easy to use. Which is what this is, I love my telescope I would recommend it to anyone. It's easy to set up and use, good clear instructions to follow. The only thing is the stand is not very strong on its full length, but I can work around this. The other thing I like is it's very light, I can not wait to take it out in the fields once it gets a little warmer.

Lets get one thing straight first of all - this is a toy. If you go in with that expectation, it's really quite good. The optics are more than acceptable, it collects enough light and has enough magnification to get a very good view of the moon. You're not going to be able to tell planets from stars without spending a fair bit more money though. The weak point, even as a toy, is the tripod and head. It's wobbly and not very precise making it very difficult to aim (I have to aim it for my 7 year old daughter), and rather easy to knock out of alignment once it is aimed. All in all, I'm happy enough with it for what it is, but I think if my daughter's interest in astronomy remains, she'll quickly need something better.

Great product

A pain to assemble

Worth every penny , my 9 year old son has never been happier and the beauty of it is. The telescope does exactly what it said it would in the description and more. I'm still amazed we've actually been able to see the moon and all the creators and details. I never used to be into star gazing but thanks to this telescope its brought me and my son even closer bonding over how to use it. My sons never been as happy x

After a lot of research on a subject I knew nothing about, I decided to purchase this for my son as his first telescope, it’s quite simple to set up, and we were able to see the moon in great detail in no time

Very good

I bought this as a Christmas present for my ten year old daughter. When we asssbled it on Christmas Day one of the legs of the tripod was faulty and the view finder (small lense on top of the telescope) views everything upside down! Because I bought it ahead of time (October 30th) as you do at Christmas the return window is now closed so we are left with a faulty telescope! I wouldn’t recommend Updat: the seller contacted me and replaced the item free of charge, excellent customer service and. The new telescope and stand work fine.
