Galileo reflector telescope4
Definitely not for beginners. But intermediate and advanced users will appreciate the telescope. The dvd is helpful and has a powerful planetarium that is also useful tool.

The advanced tripod would be a better option than the standard one and we should be given the option as to which one we like and be able to buy either tripod.

over all, this was a good purchase.

It works.4
For a 100$ dollars i think its fine for a beginner.
If you think to go further in astronomy, go for a better telescope.
I give 4 becouse did work.

Worst Packaging ever seen.1
The worst packaging of a "sensitive, fragile" instrument I have ever seen. There were holes in the inside item boxes where the Scope had rubbed and worn thru the cardboard! No foam or cardboard baffles in any of the boxes, to sabalize movement. The Scope was in a plastic bag, loose, rattling around in its box. The counterweight punched thru its box and the outer box.
This is a fathers day present, won't know if it even works until the gift is given this weekend.
...Was this a returned used item??? ...Is this how the manufacturer treats there products???
(I bought a Meade scope couple years ago, came packed safely and securely).
I hope this thing works!!!!!, I hope its not damaged!!!!
BTW, this is a Target Store item purchase from the Amazon website. This is Targets fault.
