I was sceptical about this scope but it's actually very good. Great for younger persons and starters into the hobby, but don't underestimate its potential.Very sturdy base and smooth rack and pinion focusing accepting 1.25" eye pieces.The two supplied eyepieces are not bad but I spent £20 on some additional eyepieces (plossy) and the difference is noticeable.Pro's... very sturdy for the size, portable, light, could be placed into a small back pack, two eyepieces supplied, good construction with covers. Easy to operate.Con's... eye pieces need upgrading, spherical primary mirror not parabolic, lack of finder scope or laser target means finding stars especially at 4mm eyepiece magnification is VERY frustrating.

Good for the money. As you might expect with a narrow tube and short focal length the mirror is quite curved this leads to the outer edge of the image being a bit distorted compared say to a 110mm mirror with a longer tube. The center of the image is clear with no distortion. I'm pleased with its ease of use and it can be deployed in seconds.

I read about this as being the best first telescope on a budget, and it certainly is. Solid, well made, certainly doesn’t feel like a ‘toy’, as so many do. Although it says for 13 years and over on box, I bought it for my 8 year old grandson’s birthday as he is mad on the planets, and he absolutely loves it!

As they say, you get what you pay for. For its price, it is a good first scope. Was able to see Jupiter and its moons last week, see photo. Does what it says on the tin. For the money, it's hard to complain about optical distortion at the edges of the image.

Bought this for my husband who wanted to take a closer look at the sky by night. It's ideal to go on the window sill or table edge, it's portable and easily stored. The lenses provided are brilliant for what they have to do. Very happy with my purchase

We. Ought this telescope for Caravanning as we often stay in dark areas, we have several larger Celestron Telescopes at home, for £30-50 this is a great telescope, sturdy, good adjustment, decent magnification, even good for wildlife viewing too.

Ordered this for granddaughter for Christmas cheaper than off other sites which was a bonus. First one the little supports broken off bottom. No problem as I phoned up and they replaced it in time for Christmas. Advisor was really helpful

I don't know much about telescopes, but I bought this as my first and I am very impressed with it as a beginner, but to get the most from it I needed to buy a finderscope and a diagonal. A great first telescope.

We bought this for my 7 year old, but my husband and I have probably used it more. We got a brilliant view of the super moon. Hoping to spend more time scanning the skies in the coming weeks.

This is great for a first telescope. I use it a lot. If only there was a way to buy additional lenses for greater distance viewing.
