Very cheap telescope.
I ordered this telescope so my daughters and I could view the rings of Saturn. Supposedly, you only need 25x power to see them. The lenses are so poor quality on this telescope, the best you can get is a fuzzy, blurry ball. We could just barely, if you squint and hold your breath, see the barest hint of the shadows on either side of Saturn demarking the separation between the planet and the rings, but nothing definite. Jupiter was even more ludicrous. It looked like a "blurry rainbow ball" according to my 16 year old. What's worse, you can't see the moons on maximum magnification. I have 6x binoculars that can see 5 of Jupiter's moons, but this 120x scope can't pull it off. Super disappointment. Don't waste your money.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

"Hit with local amateur astronomers"
We purchased this product to be raffled on "Summer Solstice" for a Star Gazing event at our Desert Archeological Museum . Owning many Vivitar products we felt that for the price we would be presenting a participant with the opportunity to take home a quality, and useful entry level telescope. I must say they were a hit, the overall design was pleasing to the eye,with the silver scope body and contrasting black components. Our museums instructor pointed out the construction of all the components were top-notch and constructed in the same manner as much more expensive models. The lens quality allowed us to clearly view the moon , which was Full, some of the planets and larger stars were cool. The eyepiece angle allowed for comfortable viewing. The tripod although functional needed some tweeking from our resident amateur astronomer to make it more stable. They were a big hit with our nearly 200 guest, and treasured by the lucky winners. Another surprise was that even though a entry level unit upgraded accessory lens were available. We would be confident in purchasing this item in the future if we hosted a similar event. Thanks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

More of a toy
Product arrived, and tripod leg latch was busted. ( not sellers fault, as it was factory sealed package--) not worth paying shipping to return Barely any instructions, ( but really are not needed). It is good for a kid, to introduce them. But be prepared to buy another better quality, if they like it. If it makes it to the end of the summer, I will be amazed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not to bad
Not a bad little setup works good until about 2 hours into it and the mounting base broke off. Some JB weld and just like new again. I like the view it produces.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bad lens quality
Everything else is good the only bad thing are the lenses, you can't really see out of them it's too blurry even if you pointed to the moon, if you could make better lens quality it would a 5⭐ productVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
