I tried to research things as best I could before making my first telescope purchase, and was led to believe that this was the best value. The unit is decent, by all means, however it is rather unstable.

I really like the scope and thus far it has met all my expectations. I have experienced a few issues with the star finder thus far but once I sort out the alignment I am sure it will be a great help. I also wish that there was the option of a finer focussing mechanism.

this is the best telescope available on net on affordable price, and I know that hs18 services are very best,, plz make this product in stock, I want to buy this product thanks

Grab a star chart and set out to explore the sky as the greats from centuries past did with the first scope. Very good telescope with high range. Its picture quality is also too good, you wont be seeing blurry.

This is a very nice telescope, a bit on the heavy side but nice. The 20mm eyepiece that comes with the telescope is an erecting eyepiece which is very nice for terrestrial viewing. The only complaint I have is the star pointer, it is practically useless.

Bought it as a gift for the hubby. He has had some difficulty getting it to focus...very sensitive to gosling.

This was my first telescope.. As an Astronomer by education...i had to choose what my first tool was going to be ..that's when Celestron was suggested 130EQ!! So about this Time Machine(Telescope)! If you have a curiosity and want to start star gazing this would be the perfect Telescope for you..

Celestron Am 130 eq...is the best product. You can see sky objects like Saturn Jupiter galaxy nubulas... I am still searching...and learning to use it. How to use mother drive I am still confused ... Quality is good. Easy to set up. Easy to spot stars.

A birthday present that went down very well!!

Accurate; Strong Construction

The telescope is of good build quality for the price. Sturdy tripod, clear images and easy to track and focus. Setup took about 20 minutes no tools needed. Brilliant telescope for beginners. 9/10 for value.
