WOW!!!
I would give this telescope 1000000000000000 stars. The price. THe quality. This telescope kiks. When I looked into it I saw about dozens nebulaes and a few comets. I saw what apeared to be the tad pole galaxy, and andromeda. I saw every single planet and their moons except for pluto's, mercury's. venus's, and a few of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This telescope is the perfect telescope for people ranging from beginners to pros. Awesome!

Clear images
Received for fathers day. Never had a telescope before although I have thought about getting one. Really clear with 3/4 moon giving some dramatic shadows around the craters. Saw a planet that appeared to have two rings around it. Don't know enough astronomy to identify this but will soon. Even with a lot of neighborhood lighting and the street lights my wife and I were quite impressed. I haven't used the fine slo-mo adjustment yet. Typically I began using it before I read all the instructions but am ready for the next clear night to try again. Wish I could hook this up to a digital camera.
