Great product for the price. I have 2 highschool students and they have loved it. They can use their phone and take pictures and share with us so we don't have to go out in the cold.
Very well built, with a solid feel - I think this is a very surprising value for the money, and a great telescope for ages 8+. The tri-pod and in a few other spots its obvious where they saved some money but overall the scope is a very solid buy. The phone holder is kind of gimmicky but should work in theory.
BEING my first time to ever buy a TELESCOPE, i had no guidance and did not realize that this would not fulfill my expectations. i had to call the MEYER observatory to ask how to use the lenses due to there was not detailed information that i could understand in plain language. ALSO, I HAD TO PRINT AND ENLARGE 140% ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO READ IT; TEENY TINY PRINT. if you are considering to purchase a telescope, even for a teenager, please consider one that is more professional (and probably more money) but you will enjoy so much more. I WILL PROBABLY RETURN THIS TELESCOPE TO SAMS CLUB.
Since we made this purchase we haven't had a clear night. It has been overcast or raining. My husband had no trouble putting it together. We did take it out on the deck and focused on an item on our fence. It has a lot of strength to it. We can't wait for a clear night to give it a try. I feel like we will love it once we get to use it.
I bought this about 20 days back. I started capturing moon images and downloaded the app which was a great help. As per the guide lines I was able to see Saturn and Jupiter. it is a great fun to use it. Pros: Very clear instructions Simple to use Images are clear Great price Cons: Stand for phone shakes a lot. Laser pointer is difficult to focus on object. Stand could have been more stable.
Nice simple telescope. The cell phone mount is cheesy. It would have been better with some kind of clamp that held it up and in. I would have paid a few dollars more if it had. Tripod legs are a little shaky. Images in viewfinder are upside down. that's a little distracting when getting used to it. But, for the money it looks impressive and is easy to use and the magnification is pretty good.
This was not really what I expected. The first thing you should know is it inverts (flips upside-down) everything you see. Which doesn't really matter for looking into the sky, but it definitely doesn't double as a spotting telescope for nature or scenery. Second, the optical quality is not great. It's fine for looking at the moon, but you're not going to discover any new galaxies or anything. And the tripod is pretty cheap. It's a little tricky to get the scope where you want it, and then to get it to lock in place. Don't get me wrong, it comes with a ton of accessories and everything for the price, but the user experience isn't that great. My kid was super excited about astronomy and receiving this telescope for her birthday, and she has used it once and that's it.
Nice and not expensive. But very difficult to track the movement of the celestial bodies. Still it was the best among many others twice as expensive. If you are looking for a more practical telescope, you have to pay ten folds this price.
Quite disappointed in the product cause it was a gift I gave the telescope to my son for the holidays and it turned out to be a wrong gift choice. We had a hard time focusing it specialy at night. It's like finding a pin in a haystack. We used it to see the Great Conjuction of Jupiter and Saturn but the telescope didn't help at all. Just sad.
I bought this hoping to see the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, and to see other planets and the craters on the moon. The instructions for assembly were adequate, but tiny, and the assembly diagram was very faintly printed on the page. There was no instruction as to using the red dot viewfinder. When I finally figured it out, I had to take the viewfinder off the telescope and use a small screwdriver to loosen the "third" adjustment screw in order to bring the aligned circles into alignment with the object viewed through the scope. Another problem with the viewfinder is that in the dark, it's impossible to see the circles that must be lined up with each other, and the red dot is so blindingly bright that you can't see the star beyond the red dot. I didn't even turn on the red dot, but I had to shine a light on the viewfinder to get the circles lined up, then turn the light off to see if I had the star in the cross hairs, which was not easy to do because my arm wasn't quite long enough (would have been better to have a second person to hold the light). I didn't have any trouble holding the scope in position once it was locked in (it didn't slip), but the process of locking it in did cause movement away from the wanted position. Once I accounted for this, I could move it "too far" and let the locking mechanism "pull" it back into the correct position. Aggravating, but not a deal-breaker. The deal-breaker was that I never could get a sharp (not even close to sharp) focus, even on the moon. No craters. Just some varied shadows. And Jupiter was just a tiny red dot. Like others have said, a good camera or binoculars gives a better view. Also, just for information, you have to be quick if you want to take pictures. First you have to locate the object with the viewfinder, then with the 26mm eyepiece, make sure you've got the object within view of the scope and lock it in without losing it. Then, quickly take that eyepiece out and put whichever other eyepiece(s) in and get them focused in (I never could get any focus from any combination of lenses). If you get that focused in, then get the phone in place and take your picture. Most likely, by that time, the object will have moved out of the field of view of the scope and you will have to start over with finding it again. I don't think most children would be able to use this on their own. I played with it over several days and Googled some tips, but if I can't get it to focus, it is useless. I returned it for a refund with no trouble. I will do more research before buying another telescope. I am including the best photo of the moon taken with the lowest magnification lens (this is the clearer picture) and the best photo taken with a higher magnification lens (just a white blur), and a picture of Jupiter (yes, this is really how it looked).
