Don't bother
Really not good, the 4mm lens was broken and missing its internals, almost impossible to focus , why isn't the finder scope built in to be aligned with main scope, try fiddling around to tighten screws whilst the whole thing is rocking about, cheap feel and cheap performance and no Q.C as broken parts, waste of money.

Got this as a Christmas present. Haven't been able to use it much due to the recent poor weather. Initial opinions are: I use my left eye for viewing which means that the "sighting" scope is on the wrong side of the telescope for me and makes viewing a bit difficult; and It is also very difficult to align this sighting scope centrally in relation to the telescope itself, ie so that they are both pointing exactly at the same object. This is because the 2 small screws on the sighting scope are not easy to tighten while keeping both the sighting scope and the main telescope steady and I have not yet been able to have both scopes show exactly the same image. I have been able to get good detailed views of the moon so far which I have been impressed with.
