Summary: Perfect For Our Purposes
Comment: I purchsed this telescope for my parents to use at their lake home and the optical quality is fantastic, especially for an inexpensive, starter telescope. They've mostly used it to look at nature (eagles, etc.) and boats on the lake and they can get close enough to see what they are catching! Haven't used it to find stars yet, but Im sure it works great.

Summary: Gave as a gift
Comment: Gave this item as a gift to my father in law. He loves it. Easy to operate, especially for the beginner. He did have some issues with its initial set up, needed some assistance, but now he says it works great. Well worth the money spent.
