    Very good scope
    I used to BBQ & drink some beers looking up at the night sky. I’m intrigued of the solar system and beyond. Wasn’t too hard to start. But I’m not patient as I used to be.but I’ve only gotten a few nights to put it to use because it’s been cloudy in my area for an entire month. Literally! And now rain has come into our area for a couple of days. These’d are a few pics of our moon we all see up there. Enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice beginner Telescope -- Bird-Jones Lens
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
    Excellent little telescope! The best thing about it is the automated sky tracking. The telescope will track with most objects for quite a while before getting off. This telescope is also fairly compact which is great when going through a doorway. While I had some difficulty getting it to "skyalign" I was able to align to Jupiter no problem. I'm still fairly new at using it, so I haven't figured everything out yet, but it seems pretty straight forward.

    This telescope does have a Bird-Jones lens, which isn't very clear in the product description. That is how you are able to get such a long focal length with such a small scope. The Bird-Jones lens is like having a permanent Barlow lens built into the focusing tube. Don't forget it is there when cleaning your lenses. If you add a Barlow lens it will most likely over reach the telescope's capability. Make sure you make your calculations before adding non stock lenses. I was able to collimate using a laser collimator without taking out the Bird-Jones lens. Instead of a tiny dot you have a red circle you have to center in the rings. If the circle is fuzzy, then you don't have the beam hitting the focuser tube properly. Once I collimated, I was able to get a clearer image using the more powerful lenses.

    The laser spotting scope is really nice and can be set accurately, but it is knocked off very easily. The on/off dial is too similar with the alignment adjusters and I've accidentally grabbed the wrong dial in the dark and threw off the alignment. But it is easy to reset. It can be very accurate if you fine tune it with a more powerful optic lens.

    The photos I took of the planets and moon were with my iPhone. The view was actually much clearer with just my eye. You can see the band around Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. I'd like to know what other people are using to get the much nicer images using this scope.

    Now that I have it, I wish I would have went the distance and spent the big bucks on a Celestron Advanced VX 6" f/8 Refractor Telescope.

    5.0 out of 5 stars You Can Set it Up & Use, Thumbs Up
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020
    Have collimated and set up focus finder without much hassle. This is my first telescope as an adult, difficulty level to do these is minimal, just do your research.

    YouTube has great examples on how to set up the various aspects of the telescope; wouldn’t recommend a child do it though.

    Will update with moon pictures soon. So far very impressed with this telescope. Motor is smooth, the tripod is not great but functions. Adding weight could help with wobbles.

    UPDATE: First night out and had some clouds but got great pictures of the moon. Shot with iPhone. Telescope performed great.
    Second night out I was able to see various planets, most stunning was Jupiter and it’s four moons.
    Alignment was easy, I used a single planet alignment which took less than two minutes and it tracked well.

    Note: I used a Celestron 24mm-8mm adjustable lense, a 2x Barlow, and a phone mount.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Telescope For Planetary Observations
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018
    I really recommend this telescope for amateur astronomers. Because i used to have a 70az refractor, the 80lcm is not really a big difference to me. This is some pros and cons for this telescope.
    PROS
    Clear Crisp images of the moon
    Jupiter and its moons can be observed
    Rings of saturn can be clearly seen
    Comes with H25mm and H10mm eyepieces
    Bright stars can also be seen with little colour distortion.
    Sturdy tripod and motorized alt-azimuth mount.
    High quality aluminium tube.
    CONS
    Even though the telescope is 80mm and 900mm in length, it is still somewhat wobbly when mounted onto the dovetail mount.
    You need to do quite some reading in order to use the nexstar software properly.
    The red dot finderscope is a little hard to align properly, consider getting a better finderscope.
    The telescope requires 8AA batteries to operate, it is enough to have around 5 hours non stop stargazing.
    So thats it for my review, it is really good and the price is just right. Got to see albireo in cygnus with brilliant detail.
    Thanks for reading my review! Clear skies!
