Celestron AstroMaster 90AZ Telescope

So I think the telescope portion of this product is decent, especially for beginners. I did not expect this to work out of the box with the snap of a finger. It's a fragile product with lots of sensitive pieces, so getting started, set-up and running took a bit time and getting used to. But the effort is well worth it. However, where this thing really underdelivers is the stand/tripod. Mine is either busted, used or simply not up to the task. I have read some other reviews that indicate that this stand simply is the weak point of the product. Adjustments are too clunky and the slightest touch from anything brings the setup out of alignment. Mine also seemed to have a bad movement system as the film that I believe was supposed to between some inner pieces of the movement reached out of the movement and made the adjustments even tougher. I had to revert to an alternate tripod I had available for my photography purposes, which was much better suited and actually functional. But at this price I expect something working. The telescope itself is good I guess, once you get the object in scope. Finetune the finder at daytime, not at night when you want to focus on actual viewing. It comes with two lenses (?) and they offer a decent different range for different types of objects. I believe to have had a good look at saturn, but let's be honest: Do still not expect more than a look at a bright shiny round white object. Where this shines is getting a better look at the moon. Set that at your goal and you'll be happy with what you got. But as mentioned above, be ready to invest in a different tripod that can be adjusted on three axis or have something available already.
