 It is what it says January 8, 2008

I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife and we haven't put it down since. So far we've seen the moon as if we were so close we could touch it and even though it took us some time to get use to the computer generated map of space, and to figure out where leo was so we could find Saturn it was fun looking for it. Now that we've located saturn we hope to see Mars and some more planets as the year goes by. I find it annoying though that some of these people who review these products give them bad ratings because they are either too lazy to actually work toward the desired outcome or they are just plain stupid...anyway, this product is good to go.

This telescope was a great deal and was going to be a Christmas present. My credit card was quickly charged and told of being shipped the next day. I then received an email saying that the company was out of stock on this item and was working with Amazon to process my refund- which would take two days to even let Amazon know that they needed to refund my card. When I checked on the item today, it was still listed as available to order with overnight shipping. I am very disapointed in both this company and Amazon.

At the price this is an absolute steal. I own several telescopes. The optics in this 60mm "spy glass" telescope are really superb for viewing the moon.
All telescopes in this price range suffer from wimpy tripods and this one is no exception.
This is a great buy.

The telescope was great for my grandson. The instructions to assemble it were a little complicated. My biggest disappointment was the shipping! The tape was coming off and the box had a hole in it. I am glad all the parts were there!!! The only packing on the inside was a little crumpled paper. But no broken parts!

The item come partially assembled, but it's not difficult to finish setting up. It does take some tweaking in lining up the laser finder and adjusting the acompanying 2 lenses. I can see craters on the moon. The quality is excellent. I still haven't been able to see a planet, but I guess it's because I don't know exactly where to look.
It's not so easy to get the telescope to point to and exact point. That is, after you move it to the point you want, it shifts a little away. So sometimes you have to hold it in place. The manual controls to guide the scope vertically and horizontally aren't smooth enough for ease of use.
I am 5' 7" and I have to sit to use it comfortably, this is because when I'm standing I have to bend over too much to reach the eye-piece, which will be about 4 feet from the ground when the stand is fully extended. The moon look great though!
