good bye

still working on it till now we cannot see anything.

If you have even basic information about telescopes it provides a very satisfying experience but if you are a complete beginner in the field of astronomy it can be a headache for you as equatorial mounts are difficult to use for beginners I was easily able to see jupiter its 4 moons cloud bands ,saturn and its rings even titan is also visible sometimes , venus is a easy target and can be seen with its phases mars and mercury are a bit disappointing and of course moon is a magnificent target for viewing some deep sky objects are also visible like orion nebula ,double stars, variable stars, hercules globular cluster etc.. and please dont expect to see images like as seen by hubble telescope moreover not a good telescope for astrophotography but yeah still you can capture descent images of some planets

It may not be good quality starter telescope as it is a equatorial mounted , difficult to use for a novice. Its very heavy too and an old model , where manufacturer has cut corners on a weak mount and no barlow .There is no warranty if bought from online especially from export arm of amazon as clearly stated. Better to buy from a knowledgeable retailer in local town for accessories and guidance than online. Many buyers repent decision for online buy as they are not able to use or take help from online companies , which are commission agents and know nothing of the product or after sale service or parts. Most of the times its a sour deal and telescope thus gathers dust , for unable to use...and then go for dumps as a second sale item.

The telescope is fantastic with great potential. Pulls in an abundant amount of light. Moon looks stunning and I saw jupiter... sort of. I was able to focus it in and even sorta make out the gaseous nature of the planet, and I saw one of the moons. Blurry though at high magnification. All in all, is it worth the price? Definitely! But you'll do yourself a favor making the extra investment Buying an eye piece kit. If you want to see planets, Plossl eye pieces would be the way to go along with light filters. It's difficult but doable to make out the gasses on Jupiter but to really pull in it's detail, you'll need filters. High quality eye pieces like Plossl will be my next purchase so I can push this scope to it's limits which seem far beyond what the included eyepieces can offer. Oh yes, the star finder thingy. It's like using a red dot scope on a riffle. It's a bit of a pain to use but sight it in on a terrestrial object (land) far away first, converge the two dots and it'll put you right on that object. I used it to find Jupiter and it worked well. It took less than a minute to align the scope on it so it did it's job. The tripod. It works nice and all but very shaky. Basically, you have to center it in and don't so much as breath on it and look through the scope. Kinda a pain when you have to touch it to keep it tracked in as the object moves away as the earth spins. Anyways, good beginner set up. Get a high quality eyepiece set to take it to the next level. I gave it Five stars because the Scope for the Money you pay is just Fantastic and this could be an Excellent set up with the high quality eyepieces, filters, and maybe a sturdier tripod if that's an issue for you.

Das Teleskop ist schön und gut. Die Eq Montierung ist nach ein Monat kaputt gegangen Mann kann es auch nicht mehr Reparieren. Kauft nicht das Teleskop zu mindestens mit dieser Montierungen.

Hasta ahora me a encantado llevo un tiempo usándolo y por el momento me ha podido ofrecer un buen desempeño en fotos y observación visual eso sí la montura no es tan estable pero si da un buen desempeño a la hora de su uso y ya con unos accesorios extras como oculares o una montura más robusta estaría excelente. Hablando de observación los planetas por ejemplo marte, mercurio, neptuno, y urano son casi indistingibles y suelen verse como unos puntos brillantes sin forma aparente de ahí en fuera Venus, Júpiter y Saturno son muy distingibles y dejan ver más detalles de los mismos mostrando como serían los anillos de Saturno las fases de Venus y las lunas y franjas de júpiter. Además para los objetos del espacio profundo si puede ser bastante útil se notan como manchas grises y blancas algunas y con una cámara y un motor para la montura pueden distinguirse más detalles colores etc un muy buen telescopio para iniciar y practicar el manejo de las monturas ecuatoriales tiene sus detalles pero con unas mejoras es un excelente telescopio Y mencionar que el buscador puede ser complicado de usar pero con una aplicación como stellarium se facilita bastante el proceso de encontrar los objetivos en el cielo

Ease of set up with logical progression of steps.

Très content de mon premier achat de télescope, assez simple d’utilisation , bonne qualité, superbe pour admirer la lune , pour ce qui est du reste je pense avoir trop de pollution lumineuse à voir dans un lieu plus favorable et avec les bonnes conditions ( photos prises avec mon iPhone 14 Pro et un support pour télescope
