I gave this telescope as a Christmas gift to my grand daughter and she absolutely loves it she is a gifted student and finds it very useful

Yes. ..I was also able to view Jupiter & Saturn, but that took a little work. The sight provided works poorly for targeting celestial objects. The lenses are fine for amature moon gazing though...

We have not been able to see anything with this telescope, not even the moon. Not sure if it is defective, but we have had no luck. Hope others have had better results.

I really couldn't say much about it, except its great for viewing the moon. That's all I've had a chance to do so far. Winter in New England doesn't make for good stargazing or sight seeing. Haha

They can see a bird in a tree or a person a few houses down but that's it. It's nice because they don't have to adjust anything. As far as seeing the moon or stars, no.

I bought this kit also and unfortunately I haven't been able to use it but once because it's too cold outside. I saw the moon and it's landscape and it's amazing . If you don't know anything about telescopes; you should try watching tutorials on YouTube or read a magazine about telescopes.

You will see the moon with decent clarity. You will see saturn and its rings, jupiter and its moons. It takes time to get used to and to identify the planets but it is good for the price. Find a dark area in your yard (try to avoid street light) and you will see some cool things. Patience is important. Enjoy

you can use it to see anything you want, You will probably need a tripod to keep it stable. The moon looks great through this binoculars, but don't expect to see any aliens. :)

Yes, you can see but you have to turn the feature on. It has a zoom so you can see real close.

You can see just the bigger ones like jupiter and saturn each with their moon and rings in case of saturn The other ones i personally cant see

I can't speak to the economics of it; but I was looking at the full moon last week and it was beautiful. I could certainly see details of the lunar landscape and stars are also clearly visible. I'm sure a telescope is more suitable for long term viewing; but for a 30 second look at the night sky, these will do the task. I would not buy binoculars for this purpose alone. I use them regularly for watching birds and took them to Africa where they were terrific for game watching.

While it is NOT a telescope I have used mine to look at the moon and Jupiter. You will need a good tripod of course. But it was quite clear at looking at the craters of the moon. A bit shaky if bumped. Like I said, it is not a telescope.

for the moon, this telescope is awesome and would be even better if you buy the "shorty" piece for this scope. Yes u can see craters pretty good

We use ours in the middle of the city and the moon is very bright and easy to see.

I've seen both as well as the rings of Saturn. The craters of the moon are amazing with this telescope.

Great view of the craters on the moon close to the terminator. Jupiter (and possibly the great spot on a very clear night with appropriate filters). Jupiter's moons (point sources) and their movement around Jupiter. Saturn and it's ring(s!). Mars as a red dot. Venus and its crescent. Orion nebula, ring nebula, and a handful of star clusters. Keep in mind that the weather is a determining factor in your observations. Good luck!

The item is at my grandchildren's home. I'm not sure they have looked at the moon but they do talk a lot about the stars. I'm sorry I am not much help.

You can see the Moon and Saturn with your naked eyes and binoculars, so I think the question is "How much detail can I see with this telescope?" The answer to that is that the surface of the moon is pretty amazing. You can see lots of detail on moon craters, particularly when the moon is a crescent. The full moon will be VERY bright through this telescope and is best viewed using a moon filter. Saturn also looks very neat. You can see the rings and even a little bit of surface coloration if you have very clear skies. But Saturn will at most appear to be the size of a pea at greatest magnification.
