Tasco Spacestation - Telescope - f/11.4 - refractor

My sister loves her new telescope, and I agree, it's an amazing product for the price. It was very easy to put together, most of the parts were pre-assembled anyway. The first night we had trouble viewing anything, but that was mostly because we had no experience with using a telescope. Once we gave it a second try, it was no time at all until we got a perfect image of the moon! Once we get this baby going, there will be nothing to stop us.

We have not as yet used the telescope for night time viewing, so can't really give a complete review, but I can say that it comes with a full set of day and night magnification eye pieces that give you better viewing power than any others I saw in this price range, it looks great and was very easy to set up, despite instructions being a little "barebones". I did scan around in the day time and it was easy to use and focus very sharp.

My grandchildren and I have enjoyed the summer night sky .... star gazing and popsicles....can't beat it!

My son was so excited to get this for Christmas. We started to put it together and there was no possible way this was going to fit together. The telescope itself did not fit on the mount on the tripod, then mount was way too small. I contacted the customer support at Celestron and sent pictures at their request of the brackets on the telescope and the mount on the tripod. They agreed the wrong mount was on the tripod. The only options they gave me were to exchange it at the store (the store does not carry these in stock, they have to be ordered) or ship it to them (I pay all shipping charges for this huge telescope) and they will fix it and ship it back. I asked if they could just send me the correct mount since it is just a couple of screws to remove it and send them wrong mount back. Nope. This is too much of a hassle. Now I have one very upset child.
