Got this for my 9 year old, he loves it, good build quality and no set up required. All you have to do is decide what eyepiece out the two supplied to use. Very sturdy on a swivel base and can easily lock into position. Just wish it wasn't so cloudy all the time! (Posted on 03/06/2011)Value For Money Overall Rating Build Quality
