While I find the viewing to be powerful - I have a significant problem with the mount/tripod. from Amazon.com Maybe my expectations were too high but I'm really disappointed in this scope so far. The power of this scope is modest at best, but at this bargain price that is certainly forgivable. However, the most frustrating aspect of this scope is unquestionably the mount. I found it steady enough once locked in, and it allows for very good fine-tuning on the vertical axis via a tuning screw, but making small adjustments horizontally is a nightmare because you have to just grab the telescope and rotate it. from Amazon.com I could hear parts shaking around in the box when I brought it inside. There was a slight dent on the side of the scope. It was very small, right where the mount attaches to the telescope. The scope that I got was white, if it had been gray I may not have noticed it. from Amazon.com I bought this telescope for myself because i always loved space. When buying it, i read the other reviews on this scope and saw the one about the bad mount. This is true. from Amazon.com It was so nice to focus my new Galileo telescope to this star that turned to be Saturn with his rings at the end, and over a week later at early morning I could watch Jupiter with three of his moons. Amazing for the price. from Amazon.com it was so nice to focus my new galileo telescope to this star that turned to be saturn with his rings at the end, and over a week later at early morning i could watch jupiter with three of his moons. from Amazon.com the first time i used it, i had no problems seeing the craters in the moon. from Amazon.com if this had cost $30 more, i would only give it 3 stars. from Amazon.com i would definitely suggest buying this telescope for any beginner. from Amazon.com i bought this telescope for myself because i always loved space. from Amazon.com
