Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Received for fathers day. Never had a telescope before although I have thought about getting one. Really clear with 3/4 moon giving some dramatic shadows around the craters. Saw a planet that appeared to have two rings around it. Don't know enough astronomy to identify this but will soon. Even with a lot of neighborhood lighting and the street lights my wife and I were quite impressed. I haven't used the fine slo-mo adjustment yet. Typically I began using it before I read all the instructions but am ready for the next clear night to try again. Wish I could hook this up to a digital camera.
