This is not the best telescope on the market, but for the price, you definitely can’t go wrong. I was amazed at the quality and clarity. With the 9mm lens, you can easily see the rings of Saturn as well as the clouds of Jupiter. With the purchase of a stronger lens and even a magnifier, you are able to get even more definition of celestial objects including but not limited to planets, nebula, and lunar craters. If you are a beginner, or just enjoy the night sky as I do, this is a great way to enhance the experience and maybe learn something along the way.
Note: As for delivery, the item arrived in the scheduled delivery timeframe in perfect condition. The only problem was the software was missing but has been sent as I write this review.
Usually ships in 1-2 business days.
