I chose this as my Christmas present this year - after a fair amount of research it seemed like a good beginner telescope for the money.It comes with several different lenses, and is very easy to put together out of the box. My only criticism of the telescope is that it doesn't come with any information about which lenses to use, or how to use them. If you've used a telescope before I guess this wouldn't be a problem, but as this is an entry level 'scope I should imagine that's unlikely. Thankfully another reviewer had posted this .pdf which was invaluable - [...]Given that I've only been using it "incorrectly", I'm still super impressed with what I've been seeing,and now can't wait for dark so I can see how much more is visible now I know how to set it up right! The view I had of the moon last night was stunning, you could see the craters in amazing detail.Overall, I'd give this an 'A'. Great value for money, robust, comes with a good amount of accessories. The only reason not to get an A+ is the lack of information in the box about how to use it once you've set it up!

I bought this for my husband at Christmas a couple of years ago. Christmas night was wonderfully clear and we took it outside to have a look at the stars. I put the moon filter on (make sure you do this as the moon is shockingly bright through a telescope) and enjoyed gazing at the closeness of the craters on the moon. This isn't going to be the Hubble but it really makes you feel closer to space and to see the moon so near with your own eyes is really quite something. Unfortunately, my husband had a few too many christmas drinks and couldn't see his own feet let alone the moon and we have since lost the filter so haven't used it since! I'm hoping to find a new filter that fits and get it out again soon!I'd also like to try taking a photo through the eyelense with my ipod as I've heard it's possible to get a half decent picture this way :)

this is a very good easy to set up telescope, my dad brought it for me as a gift , because i have been chosen to study astronomy after school ,because i really enjoy it . they have a wide variety of lenses which is good and my favourite would probably be the moon filter ( because it is mind blowing) sometimes the tripod can be loose and get a bit frustrating at times but not every telescope is perfect . i can be terrible at astronomy but this is so easy i can use it very easily ( and its not that complicated ) . i love this telescope and it will probably last me about a couple of years or maybe evan more . i pretty enjoy using it and on a clear night you can see nearly everything .overall this is probably the best telescope to buy for beginners.

My wife was bought this for Christmas by my mother, on my recommendation. I had looked around on Amazon and this was the highest rated within our budget. The seller got it to us in plenty of time, and it was perfectly packaged for such a large item (original packaging safely nestled within a shipping box only slightly larger than the original).Though skies have not yet been clear often enough to really give the telescope a workout, my wife's been pretty happy with it the little she's been able to use it. Complaints here have been made regarding the tripod, but we have thus far had no issues with it. If you're looking for a good telescope on a sensible budget, this is a good way to go.

Very good build and quality of the scope is very good. The tripod lets it down as it is very flimsy and you need to tighten the screws to the point where they could sheer off. the clarity of the scope is brilliant very easy to set up, no problems at all. gives very good views of the moon (moon filter included) use it as the moon is blinding on a clear night. very happy with this purchase will last a good while.

This was a gift for my boyfriend, we are both very interested in the night sky so were looking to buy a telescope, nothing expensive to start but we did want it good enough to at least see some exciting sights. This was perfect, he is extremely fussy so buying gifts for him is always tricky, but this was a complete winner!! Super price, brilliant scope, have seen some brilliant views. Highly recommended

Brought this for my 5 year old daughter for Christmas and although this product does take a little bit of setting up, once done on a clear night the results are brilliant.The first thing me and my daughter looked at was the moon, and the detail was absolutely phenomenal! If you are looking for a first time scope for a young space enthusiast then look no further, this is the one you want to get!

Bought this telescope as a Christmas present for my partner, it is a first telescope and was advised by friend to go for a skywatcher as they have a good reputation. It arrived on time and was well packed . Having set it up it is a lot more steady than I thought and also bigger. Easy to set up but have not really had a good clear night yet to comment on the views

Had already bought this for my younger son 2 years ago, and as my eldest son has now moved to New Zealand thought he may like one too. Received one day after purchase, excellent condition, my youngest son very happy with his and I often see my little grandson taking a look as well, worth the money, makes a good gift.

A fabulous present and worth every penny. After a bit of help from family member this was soon up and working. Just waiting for a full moon and a sky full of stars as only seen a few so far. It had some wonderful reviews which is what helped me in my decision and I can see why.

Great product at a good price. Views of the Moon and larger Planets are spectacular. Decent tripod but can be a bit wobbly when touched. Best not to touch the scope when viewing. Overall this scope is a good start into the wonders of the night sky and won't disappoint.

Arrived as expected and well packaged. This is just a fantastic telescope. Its great if this is your first time ever to use a telescope. Easy to assemble and very strong. Good price too. Have recommended to friends and family.

Brilliant! This was bought for our son's birthday present and he loves it. He has already posted some stunning pictures of the moon on Face Book for all his friends to see and waits eagerly for more clear night skies.
