An overall decent telescope with a nice computerized database of sky objects for your convenience.

This is a really easy scope to use, But buy re-chargeable battiers, and save money. scope works great with land and sea objects, even so much as to say a 4 mm lens, only wish it came with a 40 mm lens.read up on the stars first, and remember it takes time to see the really cool stuff.
Pros: Easy to use, Good starter Kit
Cons: Eats Battiers really fast
Would recommend: Yes
