Excellent Quality, Reasonably Priced, Breathtaking Views!
I have been fascinated by the skies since I was kid. I was hesitant to purchase a telescope because of the outrageous pricing. I came across this one, one of the only reasonable priced ones I could find, and thought the risk was worth the potential reward. I am happy to report, I hit a homerun with this one! Excellent quality without breaking the bank. My main takeaways are:1. EASY installation. All in, it took a little over 10 minutes. My 15-year-old niece did most of the work. It’s very intuitive.2. HIGH Quality material. It looks and feels much more expensive than it is.3. EASY Transportation. It’s very light weight. I can move it from my deck, to the house, to the front porch with ease. It breaks down just as easy as you can put it together. It comes with a case. You can have back in the case and in the car in under 15 minutes.4. GREAT Views. You get the same thing as you would from any other scope with a 10mm and 25mm magnification (it comes with these two). ADVICE – Use the 10mm first (lower magnification, broader view) to spot what you are looking for. Then use the 25 mm to get a closer view. Alternatively, it comes a with a side spotter scope you could use to locate. You do need to calibrate the side scope first to its aligned with the main scope.5. EASY to change positions. It swivels and adjusts up and down in a very intuitive way.6. DETAILED instructions. My advice, take the time to read the instructions (not a long read). They are very well put together and will save you frustration if this is your first scope.7. The phone attachment is a game changer. If it’s annoying/difficult for you to close one eye the phone attachment aligns your phone’s camera the view hole. You can see just as you would with your eye. ADVICE – spend a couple bucks on an eye patch, it makes manually viewing soooo much easier. Also, make sure your eye is a couple centimeters back from the scope when viewing and that you are in a DARK area.If you’re an astronomy junky like me or just looking for some good old-fashioned entertainment, you can’t go wrong here (kids love it). Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The skies are great this time of the year around me!Ver másVer menos
