Bought this scope around black friday time for 99.00 I have several scopes from spotting to a 10 inch dob from explore sci. as well. In fact this scope is similar to small version of my explore dob. For the price it is my favorite scope. Did not have any of the problems others mentioned in the reviews. When i saw the mount for the first time, i thought it looked like cheap plastic, but it is mostly aluminum and works very well. smooth but solid, stays where you aim it. If you are looking for a lower priced 4 inch reflector. This is the one. Especialy if you can get a lower price...

Too much plastic ! Needs a lot of work before itcan be collimated, at least the one I got. The EQmount is super sloppy, although it can be fixed abeginner would be hard pressed to do the work.

I see some people calling this a beginner's telescope, but it is actually closer to an intermediate telescope. I upgraded from a Celestron - 70mm Travel Scope, which is fine, but really is an absolute beginner telescope. With the ESF you can see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter from SF clearly. Now, it isn't like a color picture from Hubble, but you can see them with some clarity. If you try to look at regular images (ie not space images) they will be upside down. I would also get more lenses, as the one it comes with is fine, but won't suffice on its own. I'd love to tell you how the moon looks with this, but frankly, I haven't seen the moon in two weeks so (shrug emoji). It's a good price, and if you're not used to the placement of the lens it will take some getting used to. Also, the phone adapter is garbage, get a better one. The lenses and the adapter are the reason for the deduction of one star. There are no frills included, but the telescope itself is superb and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to move up a level from a beginner's telescope or on a budget.

First thing we noticed when we opened the box is that there was 1 smaller box missing an item and the Tripod was broken. Not what is expected when the product costs that much

An extremely well made telescope. This is the best price you will find for an instrument of this quality. I would order it again. I wasn't too sure about this company because I hadn't heard of it but I'm glad I took a chance! My only complaint is about the directions. Some areas are not very well explained. Still I'm very happy with the scope and mount. VERY sturdy. You will not regret getting this telescope.

I just unboxed mine. Has missing and loose screws. The rear piece looks all loose

the telescope magnifies celestial objects only slightly better than I can see them with the naked eye. Very disappointing.
