Sky-WatcherSky-Watcher Heritage 130mm Tabletop Dobsonian 5-inch Aperture Telescope – Innovative Collapsible Design – Easy to Use, Perfect for Beginners, Black/White (S11705)

I love my quality views the mirror in this is awsome the focuser issue isn't as bad as people make it out to be also the shield is not a necessity until a car drives by but that blinds you anyways money we'll spend check the zumhell version of this it is better in some ways and not in some

I'm pleased with the initial experience with this scope. It arrived well boxed, and nearly fully assembled (only the red-dot finder needed to be added, which is two phillips screws. Easy.) Initial setup and aiming the red-dot worked well. The scope and base are sturdy and seemed appropriate for adults and supervised children. I can't wait for the temperature to rise a little and the wind to stop blowing so I can begin real viewing.

Can see the moon and the stars . Easy to use and great for the value

Amazing telescope!

Our 13yo loves this almost as much as the 62yo neighbor! Great value.

I have been using it for more than an year. This is a great telescope if you are getting started and know nothing about astronomy. I found it super helpful and fun. This is great if you want to take pretty pretty pictures of Moon! I have been able to see the redness of mars and Jupyter along with three of her moons with this. It's like a childhood dream come true. I highly recommend this to beginner. One thing which i found at later is, you cannot use solar filters film with this one, so we cannot watch the sun!

Trying to find some new hobbies and stumbled upon this telescope. After reading blogs and watching youtube videos on telescope types and functions, i decided on this one (pictures shown are with my iPhone placed over the lens, no special tools). I'm having a blast with it, looked at the moon and some stars (pictures of stars are hard via iphone). The laser siting works good for the quality. People complaining about the travel size is confusing, going up in telescope quality + increasing travel accessibility = makes zero sense. point of diminishing your return. The partial moon pictures are when i went to my fishing spot and used the telescope there, just put it in my back seat with the belt buckle and your are all set. My last note i want to make is if you live within a city this isn't the telescope for you, this type of telescope as a whole isn't great for city's and bright lighted areas.(Edit) 10/28/2023 - I ordered the celestron 8mm-24mm eyepiece, having one eye piece with different zoom levels is very convenient and just gives more depth to using your telescope and having fun. No problem at all with the eyepieces that come with the telescope. This is just too good of an upgrade to not pick up sooner then later. If i want to purchase a bigger telescope later on i can still use the eye piece. People with $3,000+ setups use this eyepiece.
