Celestron
Love my scope – Had it for a year now and is an excellent mid year scope had a few issues with the software but working good now. Bought a separate zoom eye piece which I would recommend

study and observation!" This is untrue, as the kit does not contain the eggs required to hatch the brine shrimp. As such there is a empty plastic container, and the "hatchery" included (plastic tanks) is useless. The plastic water dropper has been replaced with a simple solid plastic stick. Contacted Australian Geographic who promised the world but delivered nothing but numerous fake mobile phone numbers to call. Eventually (months later) told me it was a quarantine issue, and Celestron wouldn't do anything about it. Quarantine issue or not, it should not be advertised as being able to do everything they claim. My son used his own birthday money to buy it - and was left disappointed. If you would also like to disappoint small children, then I highly recommend it.
Overrated junk – I bought these as they were highly recommended for astronomy viewing. No matter how much I tried they would not collimate properly and the diopter… Read more
could not focus enough to give a clear image. I’ve got some Nikon Action EX 10x50’s that blow these things out of the water for brightness, clarity and ease on the eyes. Spend your money elsewhere.

them. Very simple to use, and collapses down for easy storage. Would recommend this to anyone new to Astronomy, wanting to have a gaze into the night sky or for young kids wanting to get into astronomy. Great starter unit for the price. Azimuth mount is a little clunky and wobbly when tightened making it difficult to lock onto objects.
