THE SIZE IS GOOD FOR THE SPACE THAT I HAVE BUT IS NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. ALSO I'M STILL LEARNING ON HOW TO SET IT UP TO FOLLOW THE SKY OBJECTS AT NIGHT AS WELL AS THE DAY TIME. I'M WORKING TO INCREASE THE DISTANCE THAT IS IN THE VIEWING RANGE WITH A GOOD PICTURE AS I'M ALSO THYING TO SET UP A 10 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA TO RECORD THE VIEWING SCREEN. ALL IN GOOD TIME. PEH

Overall, the Celestron AstroMaster for me, is a "just an ok" telescope. The supplied lens's could have been of better quality. The tube mounting straps doesn't fit very well around the scope tube. The finder scope is a nothing more than a joke because the adjusting control function on the finder scope doesn't work at all. If I had known more about telescopes, I would have gone with another brand.

First of all I only had this telescope about a week and it already started falling apart it won't stay where I point it at it just falls straight down... Second the lenses are OK for looking up at the moon but everything else is just another's star.. Especially planets their just stars you really can't see them like they made it out to look trust me not worth it.. Unless you just want to look at the moon that's pretty much the only thing you can look at with good quality... But for everything else that they made it out to be is not... But hey don't take my word on it try you're self and see what I mean..

This seems like a beautiful piece of equipment, but if you are not familiar with astronomical terms, it can be a little confusing. Once we get used to what is what, I am sure it will be exciting to use. Everything is made well, parts are not all plastic and should last a lifetime. We look forward to seeing what's "out there". Would definitely recommend, but again, is just a tad confusing at first. Glad it was my choice . . .

I have only used it to view the moon so far. I have never had a telescope before. So the question "Is it easy to use" is "No". But its not meant to be easy. I have to invest time and learn which is part of the fun. I think this is a great scope for me and am looking forward to more viewing.
