This is definitely one of the better telescopes in this category and the price range. The built quality is superb. This telescope is heavy but certainly not in a bad way. This tells you that it is made with good materials. Optics works really well. It comes with a 10mm and a 20mm eyepiece. However, if you want to see celestial bodies such as the Jupiter with it's beautiful colors you will need to use a eyepiece with a higher magnification or/and a barlow lens which is not included with this telescope. Telescopes are like DSLR cameras. You need to expand your collection of accessories over time.

It would’ve been nice if you got what you paid for, but unfortunately it wasn’t. Very difficult to get calibrated and hard to adjust without shaking it to the point where you lose your sight. Took me two hours to put together all for five minutes of use for my daughter.  even at that it constantly came out of adjustment because the locks they have set on there. Don’t get tight enough to hold it in position. The image was very blurry and hard to get focused because the adjustment for the focus was really loose and inaccurate for the amount you pay for this telescope it’s not worth it.

Great starter telescope. A little hard to find starts or even the moon at first but once you got its pretty simple. It does shake a bit but I guess that's normal.

this being my first telescope was not sure what to expect. overall the scope is great. quality seems really good. my only recommendation would be to get the 2x eyepiece at least.
