Ok this product looks great, however i believe you need to purchase some more lenses to obtain full functionality out of it.
Otherwise it's a great product

First, thank you very much to Amazon for to make possible to send these item to Peru, why many times I tried to make the buy.
I'm very happy with my telescope. Is very easy your mount.
When I saw the moon for the first time with my telescope I remainde surprised.
It's a very good article for beginners.

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.

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.
