  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Quite good
Size: BL135mm
When I first bought it, it came in a giant heavy box filled with smaller boxes inside. When building it, there were no instructions. It came with a screwdriver. Took about an hour to build. Unfortunately the handle for the base was not able to be put on because either missing parts or just bad design. I did not care though. After assembling I waited two days for good weather. It was very heavy and skyward to carry so in that time I built a little dolly thing with wheels and wood for about $40. I pulled it outside and in my not very light polluted neighborhood. For the telescope, it was collimated. After a few days, I had to collimated it again but it was easy, even for me ( a first time reflector user) Notes: if you bought any accessories from Orion and can’t find them, they are probably in the extra space long boxes. The included lenses are good, with the Barlow and 25mm lens, I was able to see the rings on Saturn and some texture on Jupiter along with four of its moons. I am able to see the texture of the moons craters and brightly. The finderscope part has adjustment wheels on it. The base of the finderscope is cheap plastic so if you bump it hard enough, it could break. For moving around, a suggestion is making a base with a 2x4x8 (inches) piece of wood cut to 1’ 6” and 5 pieces of it. Four castor wheels of same size and corresponding screws. Unfortunately I bought the wrong t ring for my camera, I also needed a Barlow lens because it didn’t focus with my dslr on it so the images are terrible quality and on my phone. The moon was on a cloudy day and Jupiter was just on my phone making it look bad. Also on the lenses, without the Barlow, they are upside down, you get used to it quickly. Have fun. If I’m able to edit this and add images, when I get the camera attachment working, I’ll put some images that I can. The lens base holder was a bit too tight so I had to sand it down to let it hold the lenses - suggestion, use a file, not sandpaper. The telescope up and down movement was a bit too loose so instead of tightening it too tight to the telescope, I used felt feet that you put under things to prevent scratches on the ground under chairs and put it by the red bumper things inside the mount. Also put it where the tube bumps into the base to prevent breaking the mirror or something like that from happening. ... show more
