I am an amchure. pro astronomer. I youse it as a scentdary. telescope. to my prmiary 12 in I have in my observatory. I built. in my backyard yes it's a little. flimsy in the tripod can see some creators. on the moon with it see the blue hase around the moon so that was good just cought the meteor shower tonight. never doing that again. becuse it looked so close also got to see a planet. with it. I think I confirmed it was, juptur with my bigger telescope. yes it was kind of blured. but. that's expected with a 60x to120x I am thinking about byeing extra eye pices up to 800x maybe 1000x, but over all when it's zeroed. in you can see enuff stuff. so I don't see where it is that bad like I said it's $50.00 list price. so it is worth 14.99.and it has standerd. lenes. so sum upgrading is possible so my review is 5 stars. and all I have to say is street it like a tool like every out her telscope

Very cheap. Can not see out of it no matter how hard you try to focus it and no matter the lense.. My son was very let down.

Every look up at the stars at night and wonder whats really out there? Have you ever laid on the grass at 3am and watched a meteor shower? Have you ever looked up at the moon and wished that just for one moment in time you could be up there? I have done all those things... I have loved the galaxy and stars and the moon my entire life.. I - sadly - have never owned a telescope before now (I'm 37 - pretty sad right?) I LOVE this telescope! It is so lightweight, and easy to carry! The tripod folds up nicely for great portability! To be honest I had never even looked through a telescope before purchasing this one. I bought it for my 8 year old son... He didn't really like it - so I use it! I am always looking at the moon a lot closer now!I hope that some day when my son is a little older, he'll get half the enjoyment out of this that I do... I think all kids would really love it if they wanted to!Super fast shipping and a wonderful telescope in general! Thank you!

It was a good first telescope but both my kids now want one where they can see more then just the moon. Fun for my 8yr old. My 5yr old couldn't get it focused well.

This is a good telescope for viewing the moon or bird watching. Don't expect a lot out of it, it's not going to get deep space views. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on something I wasn't sure my son was going to use. However, he is excited with it and we will be upgrading him soon. You can buy extra eyepieces and lenses for it.

If you have never owned a telescope then this is a fantastic place to start. You can at least see if there is an interest for you or a member of your family. The eyepieces are .965, which is quickly becoming "old and obsolete" although there is one eyepiece kit you can purchase here on amazon that fits. We use this for Moon gazing mostly but the occasional views of Jupiter and Saturn are small but very exciting. You can see the rings of Saturn on a clear dark night and all four of the main satellites of Jupiter. These "cheap" scopes are usually considered trash by most but can be gold to someone who has never experienced the heavens through a lens.

It was lightweight, and I received right before the Christmas star was visible so it made for some great pictures and memories.

I bought this as a replacement to a relatively cheap but larger refraction telescope I had for many years that broke. I ignored other reviews and thought perhaps people weren't sure how to use a telescope or had never used an inexpensive one before.There are several issues with this scope - first off the optics are terrible. Even looking at something as big and bright as the moon is difficult due to the chromatic aberration and how difficult it is to get this thing to focus. Every object you look at will have a prism look to it due to how bad the lenses are - at times it's like looking through a kaleidoscope.The scope is much smaller than it looks in the picture, on par with a toy. I guess I should have expected this based on price but I was a little surprised to say the least.Finally, it's pretty flimsy and almost impossible to get the scope to hold still. The slightest bump makes it oscillate for close to a minute. Overall I would advise you to trust the other reviews and avoid this, even as a toy. There are other inexpensive scopes on the market that will at least focus and give clear images.

Por el precio la calidad es muy buena. No es de calidad premium pero por el precio esta excelente. Solo faltarÃa un soporte para los lentes. Tardaron en mandar pero la paqueterÃa fue muy rápido. Buen tamaño del sueño al telescopio en su máxima extensión. Me agrado mucho y lo volverÃa a comprar sin dudar.

The lenses don’t focus, we got it to view an important celestial event but this was useless

The product is very nice. The product looks like this. The moon looks very nice with this. I have also seen planet venus through it. Very nice product. It comes with a 10mm and 5mm eyepiece. Celestron powerseekers are no better than it even in such a high price. You can even get its detail at telescope reviewer. Go and get a vivitar 50600 today. You even get a detailed manual with it. It comes with a height adjustable tripod. Ful extension gives it a height of 6ft. Celestron has a plastic body at such great prices whereas it has a full aluminium body. I even observed the moon craters and was stunned to see its efficiency. It gives a crystal clear picture of whether a celestial body or a far away unspottable thing. But i recommend new sky observers to learn observing the celestial bodies first with a binocular.

Lo dicho, muy básico, casi de juguete dirÃa yo.Aumenta bastante y puede verse la luna, pero la luz ciega un poco, supongo que los buenos llevarán algún filtro para ello.Los movimientos son torpes ya que no posee engranes ni ningún sistema de precisión, es todo manual y a veces cuesta encontrar el objeto y lo piedes con sólo mover lo más mÃnimo.Es preferible gastar más y optar por alfo más sofisticado.
