Great serviceI bought this as a Christmas gift for one of my grandsons so it hasn't been used yet. The delivery was on time and it looks like a lovely telescope

Great little buyI bought this just over a month ago, great for my 7 year old who's enjoyed it so far. Will be a lot better when we have clearer skies heading into spring

Easy to assemble and good instruction manualI bought it for my granddaughter although it is a bit too old for her at the moment I think she will learn how to use it and I think it is an awesome buy

Fantastic serviceI was looking for a starter telescope for an 8yr old christmas gifts and was struggling to get 1 in stock. Came across Robert dyas on Google search and they had in stock. It doesn't look cheap like some of the other on the market and ordering was easy.
