I bought this for my son. Opened during Christmas. The instruction manual is not clear at all what to do. Just threw the manual and fixed on our own. There is no part list indicating what all needs to be there in the packaging. After quite a struggle we found the eyepieces were missing. Called OpticsPlanet after the holidays and the CSR was not helpful at all. (They sold the product, they are also responsible for the customer satisfaction). Asked me to contact the company manufacturer. The company CSR sends the eye piece but only one of them (20mm). They do not have 4mm in stock and I have wait till they get in stock. Totally a very bad experience and disappointing Christmas for my Son.

The instructions weren't that great, but we put it together. But on Christmas morning, we couldn't get an image on anything. What a waste of money.

The thing looks cool, works good so far but no moon yet to look at. Once you have the viewfinder lined up, it works much better to find what you're looking for. Haven't seen any stars yet because the first night the viewfinder was not set up and the next night was cloudy. My 10 y.o. loved it as a present. I am confident that once we get the moon focused we will have more fun with it. The screws for the tripod are cheap. The wing nuts strip very easily. Tripod is not foldable which makes it a pain to store away.

Telescope

Although easy to set-up, the red dot targeting device does not alow for precice targeting. The red dot washes out any stars that you try to see. Also there is no side to side slow adjustment, big problem when trying to follow something even as big as the moon, not to mention stars and planets.

The Bushnell 3" Reflector appears to be a marvelous scope BUT the sight is SO hard to set...wobbly, doesn't arc well onto the arc of the scope (poor fit)that I have not gotten much use out of this scope for small object - star/planet - gazing, my primary interest! I am still working with this problem, not happy about it at all!!
