This might be great for older kids and adults, but it is so touchy and finicky, that so chose not to give it to my 7 year old grandson. It would have been an exercise in frustration for he and I on Christmas Day.

This is a toy. Very difficult to focus in on anything really. I would not recommend, spend a little more money and purchase a real telescope. Plastic junk.

I have always worried about getting a telescope for my son. I was worried that it would be too heavy or cumbersome. I was worried that it would be hard to put together. I was worried that he would not be able to handle it because it would break easily. This telescope was the perfect thing to change my mind! The Vega comes with incredibly simple directions to follow for assembly. I was able to put it all together by myself in about 10 minutes. The directions were both clearly written and illustrated. The telescope is remarkably light and easy to adjust and handle. My 10 year old is able to adjust the tripod very easily on his own and can take the telescope outside at night with no problems carrying it. The other nice thing about this piece is that it comes with 2 different lenses so that you can try out different magnifications. It also comes with an attachment that allows for terrestrial (land) viewing as opposed to exploring the skies. My son has really enjoyed using this on clear evenings to view the constellations. Overall, this is a great quality piece for the price.

Many nights this past summer, my family looked up at the sky with this telescope. The moon is clear as if it was in the next room and the planets are well defined.

This was a terrible purchase. We took it out of the boxand the weak point is the tripod. You couldn't get ittight enough to be stable for a child to look through it.The other thing to note, even though it was purchasedthrough Amazon, the vendor Fat Brain will only give youstore credit if the box is opened.They are very nice and polite, but still beware that thetypical Amazon 30 day deal does not work with all outsidevendors.
