How good is this?
Can I see any planets or moon? I mean better than naked eye?
Out from the city lights, I imagine so…

Eh, pretty good for a start.
Pretty good reviews!
Optics let you see the past. Tried to see the back of my own head. It was resistant.

Great telescope. Aimed it randomly and saw the past. They didn’t have very good medicine back then.
If I can’t see the American flag on the moon with it, I don’t want it !!
Just kidding I love telescopes. Especially the fancy gps ones. Unfortunately I live in a state with massive light pollution.
Wanted to get a GPS telescope for amateur astrophotography. Seems like a good way to just make a lot of cool images of space.
That is AMAZING!
Red Flag 1: size/aperture of eyepieces not mentioned
Red Flag 2: 300X (power) is huge for focal length of 400mm. That implies 4mm eyepiece AND using the 3X Barlow resulting in a very narrow field.
You’ll have a challenging view of the Moon unless you buy an additional Moon filter…but first you need to know that size of the eyepiece.
Yea they don’t even mention the telescope on the in the box area of the specs. I’d hope they at least include a moon filter, I haven’t mess around with telescopes in years but they usually come with the different magnifications and usually a moon filter, right ?
My last telescope was one of those Celestron Galileo $50 kits was cool to see the stars glow and the moon, though.
