 great telescope very powerful October 12, 2008
This telepscope is a very good telescope.very powerful and clear.easy to use even for a beginner.the only complaint may be the tripod is small and you need to have a sturdy base to set it on for it is too small to use by itself.but if you have a sturdy deck or outside patio or just happen to have a full sized tripod of your own this makes an excellent telescope for astronomers of all ages and skill levels.
 Not Too Bad July 18, 2008
For what it costs, this is a reasonable quality item. Its objective lens seems to be reasonable quality, Its high mag eyepiece is a little shy on eye relief, and gives a kind of blotchy image, which, nontheless is reasonably sharp. Its low mag eyepiece functions well, and gives a good image. As an astronomical telescope it's not a great item. It lacks a polar mount, and although its mount has some fine-movement capability, it's a little floppy. As a low power terestrial scope up to 60X it's resolution is good and it performs very well. Carrying case is nice. It's no free lunch, but a nice little snack. -30-
Starwatcher June 27, 2008
I am very satisfied with the condition I received my Barska Starwatcher and it has proven very successful in its usage.
The proper packaging ensured that the telescope arrive safe and intact within reasonable time which is a plus in favour of Amazon.
Many thanks.

Nice Little telescope for the price. May 27, 2008
I purchased this telescope with a specific purpose in mind. My office overlooks a golf course where a PGA event is held. I bought this and a USB camera eyepiece, to watch the golf tournament on my laptop. Worked great and I was able to accomplish my goal for under $100.
This is a great inexpensive telescope that would be suitable as a starter or 1st telescope, worked well for the purpose I got it for.
Excellent value January 25, 2008

I purchased this scope based on positive reviews on a couple of web sites that cater to amateur astronomers. I wasn't disappointed. A couple of things prevented me from rating it a 5. The 45-degree diagonal and the tabletop tripod are better suited to terrestrial viewing. If you plan on astronomical use you'll want to use a full-sized tripod and add a 90-degree diagonal at some point if you don't already have one. Also, a 2x barlow lens would have made much more sense than the 3x. On the plus side the scope is sturdily constructed and has good optics for the price. I live in the heart of St. Louis and haven't been able to take it to a dark viewing area yet, but from my backyard the moon was excellent as was the Orion nebula, and Mars presented a nice sharp disk. The stock eyepieces are fine, but using a 9.7mm super plossl the results were great!
