I love this telescope. It’s beginner friendly and easy to operate.

First one we brought we had to send back because it came damage. Received the next one right away fast shipping. It works okay. What do you expect for the price. My son has a hard time adjusting it so I do it for him. It’s not so clear but for fun it’s good

Using the telescope with your eye, it performs as expected for the price. However, we bought it to use with a cell phone to generate interest in photography for our daughter. Here, it is an epic fail. Even the instruction manual cautions, "Warning: Do not leave your device unsupported or unattended on the adapter pad. . . . The pad is not intended to secure, balance or support the device on its own, and the operator should not let the device rest solely on the adapter pad." The result is that I can't get it set up, and then step back to let my daughter look and take pictures. Both cell phones have slid off the pad despite the suction cups. Fortunately, we could see it happening as the picture was lost as it started to move. We also could never get a good picture with a phone, as we always had artifact showing up and the phones had difficulty focusing. If you want to use this as a traditional telescope, the price is hard to beat. If you are looking for something to take photos, you might want to keep looking.

In the beginning, I could not get a clear view everything was blurry! I was starting to get frustrated and felt like I wasted my money. Then it dawned on me, I didn't know what I was doing. After watching a couple videos on YouTube on how to use telescopes, I figured it out. I LOVE IT! Don't listen to the reviews about blurriness, people most likely don't know what they are doing. Its not just pop the lens in and view, you have to adjust the focuser. You have to work and play a little with it. I was also able to look at stars within Orion's Belt and within a star cluster. With those, the view isn't so clear because they are so far away. But it is still cool to see them a little closer than what we see with the naked eye. I will be going to an observatory park next weekend, I cannot wait! Hoping to view Jupiter! Its a great beginner telescope. Now, to find lens with a higher magnification!

It is a waste of money. Even the moon just shows up as a blob in the view finder. I was excited to use this with my kid but after using it i think he would lose interest in telescopes forever.

First of all the phone mount is near worthless for iPhone 6/7. Could not achieve focus and phone kept falling off the suction mount. Second negative is the flimsy mounting mechanism. The eyepieces are locked in by screws which unless you want to scratch up the housings cannot be effectively tightened. All that said, once focused and aligned the moon was displayed in crystal clear detail with minimal halo much clearer than the Celestron images customers have posted. I did however use the Barlow 2x lense in conjunction with the eyepiece. The blob that was mentioned is most likely the mount slip which I noticed as well until I readjusted whil looking through the eyepiecejust remember everything is inverted and mirrored when adjusting the view. That was enough to earn the 4 stars based on the clarity of the image for the price. The moon was almost directly above which made it difficult to use the red dot accurately. Instead i removes the eyepiece entirely and moved until I could see light in the barrel then reinserted which made lining up much faster. I am going to try a 3x or 5x Barlow before determining if I am going to keep it.or try a more expensive one. Mine was purchased at a local club for half the price.
