A quick + lightweight option with no hassles
By S. McGillivray
A great little scope with a backpack! It's incredibly easy to carry and sets up in minutes. I bring this with me on all camping / hiking trips because it's just a small backpack; it's no big deal to bring anywhere. You can easily see lunar craters and the Galilean moons. Has a mirror so you get the correct orientation for daytime use looking at wildlife, etc. I don't have the solar edition, so I can't comment on the sun.

You Get What You Pay For
By Railbird
Nice product, very good optics, very easy to use. Very portable and quick to set up.
Drawbacks:
The sun appears white, not "orange".
As others have stated, the tripod is "springy" and responds to moderate breezes.
When you lock the tripod, it has the effect of "pulling" the aim point, so you need to learn to compensate.
Good things:
It is worth the money you spend. It is a VERY GOOD ENTRY SCOPE if you just want to go out and look. You can see the phases of Venus, sunspots, Galilean moons, etc. It's an excellent terrestial scope as well.
I recommend it to beginners because of ease of use.

By Dean R Specker
The scope does rather well for the small aperture. The biggest problem, as many other reviews have mentioned, the tri-pod leaves a lot to be desired. I like that a solar filter came with it and it is very transportable. I carry the back pack in my car all the time. I never know where I'll be and want to look at the sun, a star from a different area, the moon or even a terrestrial object. This is a great scope for your kids to start with. Don't spend too much money too quickly before you know how interested they are in astronomy.
