With a 4 inch aperture, it's big enough for moon and planetary viewing, and brighter DSOs. The red dot finder works great, the fine tuning up and down arms help keep objects in view, the tripod is solid. It comes with 1.25 inch diagonal, and eyepieces, but will also take 2 inch fittings for cameras, or a 2 inch diagonal/eyepieces. A fantastic beginer scope, that turns into an intermediate scope by upgrading the diagonal, and eyepieces, but images are great right out of the box. An excellent refractor telescope!

I knew when I ordered this telescope that the eyepieces, diagonal, and perhaps the finder would not be of great quality. In spite of this, I ordered it anyway because I had heard that the telescope tube assembly, tripod and mount were good and would last me a long time. I was right and am very pleased with the main telescope and mount. It has a very nice quality main lens, good focuser and sturdy tripod. The rest of the accessories mentioned earlier, are of poor to mediocre quality, but they are easily replaced for not too much money, leaving me in the end a very good telescope to last many years.

This is the best one before you get into big money. This will surprise you with clear crisp lenses, easy to use. Can be transported without worry. This is the best one before you turn pro

The telescope is good quality for the price range. The tripod needed a tune up though; loose bolts and a worm gear that was too tight, needed adjusting to work easily.

Excellent optics in a solid tube, mount may feel light but works perfect for this size scope. Highly recommend upgrading to better eyepieces and diagonal, optics will really shine once you do this.
