SamcaiSamcai: This is good with Tripod is an excellent choice for young astronomers. With its lightweight and portable design, it's easy to set up and use. The two included eyepieces provide a range of magnification options, and the 70mm aperture allows for clear and bright views of the moon and stars. The tripod is sturdy and provides a stable base for the telescope. Overall, this is a great starter telescope for kids interested in exploring the night sky.

medprofessor: This Telescope was far better than expected, not only in quality, but a real teaching aid. Well packaged and each part secured in an additional plastic bag. It came with a huge chart of the Planets and the moon. Its instruction book also gave amazing information on the Physics and Mathematics of optics and how to use them. Great for Astronomy and daylight viewing. All of the objectives had caps, and also the front lense. The tripod was very stable. I especially liked the section on the care of the scope and its components, as well as warnings as to what you should never do. A terrific teaching aid all around, and a perfect price.

The Galileo Effect: I had to rewrite. Previous comments too rosey. Photo, point and shoot tripod, not suitable for astronomy. Focuser tube unstable within its tube. Tripod height OK. I can add ballast below. Some of these issues explain the poor ratings from others. However, photo point-shoot and lock mounting is unsuitable even with addition of wheel grease. Comments pertaining to astronomy usage in a moving celestial situation only. Can put scope on old 60mm scope mount and use tape shims inside of focuser tube. Giftable for child, needs new mounting system for proper study of astronomy. IMHO. Was very easy to assemble. For my $85, it will be fine, you can by it for less on e-bay. For just a little more you can buy a fine 70mm f/10 from Orion telescopes. The ability to scan the heavens- pursuing the cosmos, requires a good mount with trunion bearings alti-azimuth, if possible. But, for kids first scope, its fine. If you are smart, you won't settle for a mish-mash of systems here.

Isa: This was my first time purchasing a telescope. I wanted something simple and lightweight, and also powerful enough to observe the planetary bodies. The setup was suuuper fast - it worked right out of the box. The instructions were very simple and easy to understand (actually didn't even need them). First night, we could see Jupiter and its moons... it was very exciting for the whole family. We saw the rings on Saturn as well... amazing. The images were crisp. Can't wait for the moon to be visible in our area. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the barlow lense was missing, otherwise a 5-star product.
