1.0 out of 5 starsVery low quality

Good point: Was easy to set-up. Bad points: Instructions are not very clear on how to use the lenses, specifically which ones could be stacked and how to do it properly. I had to google extra videos. Tightening screws for viewing lenses are very temperamental in the fact that if one screw is too tight, the lens won’t be perfectly centered, which will narrow your view with dark spots around the edges. The telescope is very shaky while making adjustments to the alignment and focus knobs, which make it extremely difficult to see while making fine adjustments at the same time. The knob that controls moving the telescope left or right does not tighten enough to actually lock it in place. I gave up at some point trying to use the phone mount to align my phone camera exactly over the lens to get a decent view through my phone. And if you did happen to get your phone into place enough to get the job done, then the object you were trying to look at would be gone (because the earth and the objects are constantly moving), which may involve changing the lens to a lesser zoom for a more broad image before switching back to a stronger zoom lens. Overall, the image quality was not that great and any stars or planets would be just small white blobs that look like they are constantly shaking, even when not touching the telescope (other than the moon, which is a lot closer).
