Took it out for first time last night, had no trouble finding Jupiter and Saturn within minutes, View was great, Tried several of the lenses and they all work good. Sturdy construction and good optics. Had a little trouble with the tracking knobs, but that is just me not being familiar with the scope since it was the first time using it. I would recommend this scope for a beginner, as for some of the negative reviews, I think some people expect to have Hubble type images and are disappointed when that's not the case.

hello all , the telescope its self seem's ok for a beginner ,but the stand and mount are total rubbish , i had to spend 1 .1/2 hours pulling it apart and ajusting / mod it a bit so it would sort of work ,but i would not buy another one of these ,,,yes i am a beginner but if i wasnt a bit mechanical this mount would not be usable at all ,a grate way to put off a new bee like myself . i did send a email about it but got no reply so far ,,i Recomend doing your home work about this type of mount / telescope . for a few more bucks after realy looking and doing my home work,,, i should have got the ( Dobsonian ) .....good luck all and i hope this helps others . regards

Over all the Power seeker is a very good telescope . It needs help from its manufacture such as the most important part. The focuser it is of very poor quality and almost impossible to focus. I do have too say one thing it is built strong. And a snap too set-up!!

Not as easy to use as the last one i had but easier to set up harder to keep the spotter scope aligned because of shims to go with the tightening screws. But well worth the money if we could get the planets to show up earlier it would be nice.

Disappointed with image quality. Image can never be sharp due to design, always blurred right through focal point. Google "Bird-Jones" telescope issues before buying. And.. don't waist over $400 on this worthless design. Buy a 76-700 type, proper long tube with a smaller 3 inch mirror but better optics for half the price and get really good quality!
