Quality

Good quality feels super sturdy when finished assembling

It is amazing build quality, absolutely professional in every way.

Magnify light - not resolution - to see these things.

2 of the 3 locking nuts no longer work and the tripod is now useless which means the telescope is useless.

Price

As a starting point at the regular sale price this scope is a great point of origin.

We paid less than $300 for a prime day purchase of this thing, as an early birthday present.

They didn't ask me for payment, make it an add-on sale, not even postage.

At the price point i’d say it’s worth the money.

Shipping

They responded back very quickly offering to assist in anyway.

Arrived early and in good working order.

I had reached out to shipper for assistance.

I dropped a line to customer service here, and within days they sent me a terrestrial eye-piece.

Competitiveness

This telescope uses the same drive as a celestron astromaster 130.

Its also way better than what the average kid into astronomy could muster way back when we were all inspired by the mercury to ... Read More

They might consider adding an aftermarket 8" or even 10" rft with a similar quick mounting.
