I bought this mainly telescope to observe the sky. I was pleasantly surprised during my first observation, to see Saturn and its rings so quite convenient. I recommend this tool to anyone looking for a cheap instrument for beginners in astronomy and who do not want to spend a fortune. This telescope will replace my taste advantageously a pair of binoculars. I think that long land view it disappoint me either. Congratulations to Amazon which has delivered time and even with a small lead instrument in perfect condition. Christian amateur astronomer in Mauguio
