Great product, great times

Although this is a beginner unit we were amazed at the detail we could see in the moon. Even with the basic unit (which can be expanded on later) it opened our eyes to the vastness of space when checking out other planets. We had not had any experience before and we found this a piece of cake to assemble and get going. Next step is to wait for the green traffic light then we will join an astrological group to get the most out of the experience. We found it really helpful to download an app that points out all the planets and constellations so we could easily find out what we were actually looking at (otherwise all I could identify was the moon).

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
