Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Please read this! It will only take a couple minuets! This is a great telescope for beginners! If you are a professional, definitely don’t buy unless you are looking for something to carry around town. but if you are a beginner that wants to get into astronomy and you have a budget of $100, this may be the telescope for you. I rate this four stars, only because some of the controls feel difficult to turn, and the parts that you grab to make it turn, are made of cheap plastic. Also the finer scope is crap. I haven’t looked, but I’m pretty sure you can get sturdier parts such as a finder scope. This is very easy to assemble, I did it in less that 7 minuets. But one last downside about it was that it didn’t come with a bag. Sometimes it is herd to carry the telescope by yourself and you have to find a ziplock bag for the extra parts that you don’t use. You have to take a couple round trips to get everything if you are by yourself. So I recommend getting a bag. What I also recommend is reading the instructions. Not only of course the setup instructions, but the full manual, (it’s only around ten pages... nothing huge). There is a lot of helpful material inside the manual, such as how refractors and reflectors work and how to setup you finder scope. I went out tonight and I saw Venus bright and clear, Polaris, Pollux and Caster, and even the shape of a whirlpool galaxy which I believe was M51. Therefore great for beginners and I 100% recommend this product.
