Excellent little scope I bought this as a smaller portable “grab and go” scope and am not disappointed. The optics are excellent and views of celestial objects are above average. Great views of Jupiter and Mars and the Moon is stunning. It’s cute and good looking, sturdily made and a great all rounder. Nice carry case too (23/10/2022) Ian - Berkshire.

Great service. Great instrument Ordered this and it came next day. Set up easily and it quickly offered visuals not far off my main telescope. I bought this for it's portability and it is great. 5 minutes to put away in its protective bag and 5 minutes to set it up where needed. Haven't tested the smartphone adapter yet.
