" ... Could not see a thing and, yes, I took off the lens cap. ... Definitely not a beginner scope, or even an expert scope. ... "
" ... so for I’ve got about 6 hours of work into trying to get the lenses aligned . ... "
" ... Upon further inspection, it is clear that there is a defect with the lens in the focuser. ... There is clearly a distortion/artifact in the focuser lens. ... Of course, it might work okay if the lens focuser didn’t have a distortion/artifact. ... "
" ... The large scope cap fell off when I took it out of the box and broke. ... In order to move it you need to take the tripod off, take the weights off and find something to protect the telescope when you transport it. ... "

" ... All these plastic pieces are fine but if you don’t make it more precise it’s a waste. ... Sure, it’s inexpensive, but it’s also very cheaply made and if it wasn’t for my 15 year old Meade scope, I’d probably have given up on this hobby by now. ... "
" ... The instructions have you extend the legs of the tripod and make level. ... Problem is until the scope is mounted I had no idea how long to make the legs. ... The large scope cap fell off when I took it out of the box and broke. ... "
