Great but arrived with a broken laser sight
Ordered this as an upgrade for our avid stargazer Son. He loves it!Instructions clear and well built - took around 20 minutes to complete the assembly.One small problem. The laser sight was damaged so we need to organise a replacement. These things happen I suppose.

Professional star gazing
Allegedly the intro model to the professional range but this scope is out of this world for clarity and ease of use, highly recommended

Happy teenager
My Brother bough me this telescope for my Birthday as he had no clue what else to get me.My Daughters birthday was soon after mine and she had shown an interest so i thought "Why not"?I bought this for her and initially she was very excited and impressed.Unfortunately she soon realised that although she can look at the moon and see it really clearly, she can't do the same with any of the closer planets.They can be seen and located really easily through this telescop but as it has no focus at all you can only see a bright blob when you try to zoom in.I have viewed the rings of saturn through cheaper telescopes but certainly can't with this one.It was easy to set up and would be a great gift for a young, budding, astronomer but certainly not fit for looking at anything other than the moon with any clarity.All in all I wish I had spent more time with mine before i bought My Daughters, i would definitely not have boaght this telescop for her at the age/level she is at.

App doesn't work.
Main selling point of this scope is ability to link with Starsense app to locate and identify objects. App doesn't work with my Samsung phone (or second Android) even though it says it should. Contacted Celestron technical support for help but received no reply.

Ok.
A bit more complicated than I expected, especially with the set up. Assembly wasn’t an issue and didn’t take too long, but the set up to use the app with my phone and telescope was the tricky bit. Not blown away with the view. The moon is okay, but other planets aren’t that impressive.

See the stars
I bought it as a present so not firsthand knowledge but I’ve been told it’s very easy to use and good images
