    My daughter expressed an interest in Astronomy while locked down away from me. Eventually, I choose this scope. It was going to be this family but availability was an issue. I have set the scope up with a 10-year-old. The same 10 years old can now find planets and view them unaided. We've been limited in our use because of time and weather at the weekends but the truth is we're both delighted. Things will get better when and we're excited about the dark nights in winter!!! The app is a delight to use. I can't believe how delighted we were when I got a compatible device. We were spinning that Telescope round like a top. What's that? Look at it and get the info! Next time we'll use it properly! We promise. We love the scope and have potentially opened the door to an amazing hobby. With no experience before I've got to say I think that this telescope is a great entry scope. Excellent even but we know that I have no experience. I also have no buyers remorse on this purchase.
