When I was a young boy back in the late 1960's I had a 40 power telescope that was light years ahead of this telescope as far as the general quality and especially the optics of this telescope. I have already striped out one of the finger grip tightening screws on it. I guess for older adults that remember the higher quality of things gone by it is hard to accept this new China junk world that we now live it. The telescope does work and you can see things much better than with the naked eye but ....
Optics not as good as I hoped for
