First off, my scope came with a defective part: The pan handle was bent where it attaches to the mount, making it wobble when loosened or tightened. This also may have been the cause of the scope's major flaw: When the scope is pointed up, the mount can't support the weight and it slowly drifts upward. The tri-ocular holder is useless because when any adjustments are made, the scope moves out of alignment. The finderscope (viewfinder) mentioned in the other review is NOT right side up nor built in. Almost the only metal parts are the telescope tube, tripod legs, and eyepieces. The rest is flimsy plastic.
This telescope is not useful for anything. Don't buy it.

great scope within it's aperture and alt-azimuth mount limitations
rating: 5
I've been using this scope for over a month. For viewing the moon without having to buy and use a moon filter it's possibly the best scope on the market. It gives better resolution of mars than 80 mm. scopes. All the way out to saturn it's possibly the best scope in it's price range for children and beginners. The alt-azimuth mount does have a built in limitation for astronomical viewing but this scope with a built in right side up viewfinder is a great scope for hiking and backpacking with and doing great canyon and mountain views. With the included soft carrying case it's a great value
