  1. FannaBanana

    I ordered this item online as a Christmas gift and was extremely excited once I actually saw it in person. It made a very affordable gift, with the perception of costing much more than it did!! The telescope and accessories are excellent quality and the fitted backpack carrier just put the cherry on top! Great value!

  2. fmoto

    Your booklet says that I should be able to see Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, well I have tried but all I’m abe to see is some Brit stars. The stand for the scope is very flimsy and the handle to adjust the vertical and horizontal are very hard to adjust, every time I try to ajust it, it takes it out of line of what I was looking at.

  3. mimime

    grandson love it he can now look at the stars,moon and more very clearly

  4. motorcyclemike

    Very light weight, surprisingly nice optics for a scope in this price range and a solid built product.

  5. xtremeclimb

    This was a gift for my daughter to explore and easy to setup.

  6. pattyc8388

    Bought this gift for nephew and he loves it he’s 8 years old and it’s not hard to use he and his father are very satisfied great for beginners

  7. acaramelpryncess

    I love this product. It has great projection and can magnify really well

  8. crash

    I bought two of these units as gifts for my grandsons who absolutely love them. We took them up to our mountain cabin and everyone had a good time with them. Pretty good bang for the buck.

  9. Telescope

    I am really happy with this telescope. It is very portable and packs up into a compact backpack for hiking and camping trips. My daughter loves this

  10. BRE0876

    Enjoy telescope for viewing moon, planets, and stars. Great!

  11. nazkinejohn

    The telescope is small and portable. I expected a better quality telescope. It’s hard to locate objects in the viewfinder. Some of the pieces have already broken. Spend a little more money and get an upgraded telescope.

  12. MisterG

    Great telescope.I bought it as a Christmas gift for my son who is a budding astronomy afficionado. He loves it, perfect gift for a beginner.

  13. codeguru

    If you like to get out into nature with your children this is a great telescope as it’s super light weight and packs down to a very small backpack. I was surprised when the tripod became a normal height and it’s pretty sturdy as well. It actually works very well for what it is.

    Great camera for a beginner Great camera for a beginner

  15. Marilyn

    Bought this scope for my 7 yr old grandson… it’s been fun watching him discover the sky… is to set up and use

  16. Twolabz

    This is a great telescope for a beginner! I love the backpack and organization of it. Great for short hikes too!

  17. TDBrown

    I gave this a 5 not because it’s the best scope of the earth, but because it’s a whole lot better than I thought it would be. The paperwork says it’s better for viewing terrain (yes, even though it’s listed as a telescope) but I think it does a fair job at space viewing as well. Once again, not the best but really good. The 45 degree eyepiece makes it easier. Also, if you are a total amateur like me, it comes with downloads and software for your computer to help you and give you ideas. Perfect little scope.

  18. mizzbrenda

    if you want a quality view this is the one. very defined views and easy to use

  19. Susa

    No quality. Poor quality . Is not what I thought .

  20. JRSIII

    I bought this for my grandson as a gift. It is solidly built except for the tripod. Tripod is nothing special, but it does work. Great for looking at the moon. Excellent backpack that is great for storage and convenient to take with you on a trip. It’s worth it as an entry level telescope.

  21. Pun0013

    The telescope worked pretty well to be able to look at the moon. I need something stronger to be able to look at stars.

  22. DavidA

    Proficiency and clearity were great and will definitely use Best Buy again.

  23. NinjaMouse

    I live in western NC. I go up on the blue ridge parkway allot. I love to star gaze. This is a must have.
