Sky-Watcher Sky-Watcher Heritage 130mm Tabletop Dobsonian 5-inch Aperture Telescope – Innovative Collapsible Design – Easy to Use, Perfect for Beginners, Black/White (S11705)

Great telescope, easy to assemble and easy to learn to use. Moon looks great, Jupiter and its moons are visible, Saturn and its rings are visible, Uranus and Neptune are seen as small dots of light. Star clusters also look great. Overall great product, although the focuser knob was very tight, but figured to turn it anyways.

Beautiful view of the the moon and other planets. Very clear and close when paired with other eyepieces.

must buy if your starting out in astronomy or space studies, amazing quality for a beginner telescope

I'm pleased with the initial experience with this scope. It arrived well boxed, and nearly fully assembled (only the red-dot finder needed to be added, which is two phillips screws. Easy.) Initial setup and aiming the red-dot worked well. The scope and base are sturdy and seemed appropriate for adults and supervised children. I can't wait for the temperature to rise a little and the wind to stop blowing so I can begin real viewing.

I love my quality views the mirror in this is awsome the focuser issue isn't as bad as people make it out to be also the shield is not a necessity until a car drives by but that blinds you anyways money we'll spend check the zumhell version of this it is better in some ways and not in some

Our 13yo loves this almost as much as the 62yo neighbor! Great value.

I was going to buy this telescope for traveling, I liked the idea of being foldable but the heavy wood base makes it completely impractical for travel. You'd need to replace it with a light aluminum stand but at that cost you may as well get a different telescope. The telescope is weak, there are telescopic lenses out there for generic cameras that could get the same result. No accessories included to support cameras or smartphones, and no official accessories sold that would guarantee compatibility. Costumer service is useless. They just give me 3rd party phone numbers to fix any kind of issues from bank transfers problems to compatible accessories or guide how to disassemble the base. Ignorant and rude.

I have been using it for more than an year. This is a great telescope if you are getting started and know nothing about astronomy. I found it super helpful and fun. This is great if you want to take pretty pretty pictures of Moon! I have been able to see the redness of mars and Jupyter along with three of her moons with this. It's like a childhood dream come true. I highly recommend this to beginner. One thing which i found at later is, you cannot use solar filters film with this one, so we cannot watch the sun!
