The optics are of a very high quality and exceeded my expectations at this price point. It matches or exceeds the quality of the Orion 90mm Mak-Cas and it comes with an equatorial mount and tripod for the same cost as Orion's cheap tabletop version. I'll be mounting this telescope on a higher quality equatorial mount and tripod but the one that came with it is more than acceptable for a beginner. I'll still use the mount that came with it when I plan on traveling light. What can you see with this scope? Don't expect to see very many deep space objects such as nebula and galaxies. If you live in an area with low light pollution you might be able to make them out, but don't expect to see much. This scope is great for planetary viewing and lunar viewing. Saturn's rings are very clearly visible as well are Jupiter and it's four large moons. With the supplied lenses you can easily make out banding from Jupiter's clouds. If you're looking to get into astronomy or are looking for a lightweight and portable scope, this is definitely a good scope for under $250. Clear skies!

Great telescope, excellent image quality, the Moon views are incredible. The shipping is fast, the package was delivered in good shape and on time, I got great discount btw. Perfect instrument for observations in the countryside. In the big city (more than million people) the light pollution is too high, heat flows and everything... I will also try to use it in the mountains! I recommend it to everyone! Especially to those who want short focal length (fast) refractor - in my opinion it's better to choose lens-mirror telescope like this one!

Bought this telescope for astrophotography alongside with 2x barlow lens with T-thread adapter. Then I connected all of this stuff to my Canon 60D. I've got about 80x-90x (at least I think so), so I've got a question. How can I enlarge the Moon even more? I want higher magnification! is that possible? thanks!

HI! I purchased this telescope two month ago. It's not bad! Since then i've already observed a few objects. However, when watching Jupiter , I was puzzled by how "See it all!" astronomer handbook shows the pic. of Jupiter taken with a small telescope - it's very detailed photo about 1 in. in diameter. The smallest image is shown pea-sized. But when I was looking through the eyepiece, i was pretty sure that was Venus. And, if not for the obvious four satellites, I would still think it was Venus. The thing is that through the telescope Jupiter is only a 2 - 3 mm dot , but through the "Super 10 " lens it's about 4 - 5mm. Tell me please, what does it depend on? Maybe I don't understand correctly how does the telescope work? Is it possible to increase the power without changing lenses? Thank you!

Bought this telescope, it's a great device, observed Jupiter pretty well with belts and moons and everything. Observation of the Moon was excellent. Haven't the opportunity to observe anything else. And now it's time for my question. As far as I understand the magnification with eyepieces included in the kit is 125x. What should I choose to get the highest 180x? Barlow lens or another eyepiece?
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
