New experience
Brought it for my son, as a beginner its not bad but at same time not really mind blowing. I would suggest buy it on sale rather than full price
Balc, 35 - 44, Burnley
Very pleased
I’ve wanted a telescope for many years and thought I’d invest in something “budget” and this is pretty good for the money!

Brilliant telescope for first time user
Got this as a Christmas present for my wife she loves it easy to use and lense is really clear
Rf, 45 - 54, Warrington
You get what you pay for.
Overall it's a positive experience but could be made better. The telescope is let down by the mount. It can see the moon with the included quite well. Where it falls down is the mount being quiet shaky and the adjustments not being quite accurate enough. The standard lenses work well with the angled piece but the only way I could get the additional 3x lense to work was looking straight in to the scope. Worth it for the money 🤑 f you are interested in getting started and are not sure if you will stick at it.
