Customer Reviews

good telescope but in need of better instruction
i am an amature star gazer and thought this would be the ideal thing for me as it has electronic controls.

it has great vision and gives a fantastic view of all u could want to see as an amature star gazer....however....when u want to go a bit further and use all the aspects of this telescope things get a bit harder.

the instruction manual is basic and you are not told enough information about how to operate it. it is mainly designed for the U.S.

when it comes to finding extra's for it, this is near on impossable. you can not benefit from all the extra features as it is so hard to follow the instructions and can not get any more information with ease.

and finally, it takes eight AA batteries, which do not last long!!!!

good scope for an amature, but newer edition would be better for the more enthusiastic!!!
