I can see planets and stars, great detail looking at the moon. I have not been able to complete the set up for the location/star finder.

smart system; a lot of options

smart system hard to set up

This is my first scope and I bought it to take to the national parks out west. In retrospect, I think the 5 inch is probably abut as portable, but I'm happy with the 4 too. It is easy to set up and operate. The focus nob rubber isn't tight, and affects the focusing, but otherwise a great scope.

I purchased this telescope because I am not that knowledgeable about the position of some of the objects in the night sky that I wanted to see. My old telescope was hard to observe thru and very frustrating so I wanted an easier observing tool.

Compact; Lightweight; Strong Construction

I bought this product as an upgrade from a small table top mount scope for beginners I got a gift from the wife who ended up getting the astronomy bug herself. While the price is considered too expensive for a first time scope this scope is great for intermediate users who want to upgrade from...

good bang for the buck

Tracking!!!

none

Right off the bat, I'm not going to lie, I could not see as much with this telescope as I was expecting. By the time I adequately zoomed into Jupiter, the image in the eyepiece was dull and blurry. However, I've only used it in a light polluted area so far.

The Spirit Level of the Telescope disappeared. No liquid. I did not get post sales support. So, I am now stuck with this product without a key component.

Looks good, but it's harder than we thought to set it up with the 3 required stars, before you can use it digitally. Not recommended for beginners and if you need to use it right away:(
