Size: BL135mm Kit
My family & I have really been enjoying this telescope. We love how detailed the moon looks, and even seeing Jupiter. I wish my phone would have taken better photos. We are definitely beginners & are so excited to see more. The only cons are that the instructions were not very detailed, and the photos were a little different than what we received. Also it might need some wheels, because it is quite heavy to lug around. ... show more

  • It's ok, wouldn't call it a beginner scope.
Size: BL135mm Kit
It's ok for checking out the moon, but unless you're out in the middle of nowhere and there is no moon out, you'll never see any of the nebula's like they claim, and planets will still be very tiny at their closest orbit.. You'll definitely want to upgrade the quickfinder for these, the one that comes with it is a pain to dial in and use. It's tinted making it imposable to see all but the brightest stars. I highly recommend the Rigel Systems QuikFinder... You'll also need to buy a Collimating Cheshire Eyepiece. I would also recommend getting either a lens camera or a cellphone adapter. It's not very easy to set this thing up in a comfortable way to view with your eye to lens. it's an odd size, to big for a table, and to short for the ground unless you're around ten years old... I included some pictures I took of the moon with a garbage cell phone camera and the 25mm lens ... show more

  • AWESOME 135mm Telescope!!!
Size: BL135mm
This telescope is amazing. I know it’s not the best but for what you pay for it’s a really good telescope!! I’m talking from firsthand experience and I’m not some new person buying his first telescope. This is my 7th telescope I’ve bought so far and this one, like I said not the best, but well worth the money that you’ll spend for this one!!! ... show more

  • Great telescope. Disappointed by cosmetic damage and missing instructions.
Size: BL135mm
No assembly instructions. No user manual. Damaged box, cosmetic damage to stand. When I figure out how to assembly and use it maybe I'll review the telescope. ** Update my son really enjoys using this telescope. He took a picture of Saturn first night. The pic is a little blurry but that was due to hand shaking. I recommend this telescope. ... show more

  • It is a beginner telescope
Size: BL135mm Kit
This is good but I should’ve gone a step up. A beginner setup easy to use. Could see Jupiter and it’s moons pretty easy
