excellent, economical telescope for a novice, lightweight yet powerful enough to see Jupiter and it's moons, Saturn and rings and the moonview is spectacular. a con would be the 4mm eyepiece. it should come with a 9-12mm eyepiece.

I purchased this product for my daughter. It's very hard for her to use due to instability. If she touches the telescope while observing it shakes too much for her get any detail. Don't plan on seeing much more than the moon (detail very high). Other objects are just bigger bright blurs. Overall an inexpensive tool to observe the moon.

Comments about Celestron PowerSeeker 60 Telescope:
This is a Christmas gift for my 10 year old grandson. I didn't want to get him a poor quality telescope but I also didn't want to pay a lot of money for something he may only use once. I ordered this at 11pm, Sunday Dec 9th with free shipping. It was on my door step at 5pm Tuesday Dec 11th. Now that is service!! I know nothing about telescopes but I wanted to check out the pieces to be sure it wasn't "junk" and was amazed at the quality of the components. My grandson is going to be one happy camper on Christmas day.

Product arrived in faster time than expected. A gift for my 10 year old grandson who is just starting to learn about Astronomy but his 5 year old brother was amazed at what they could see too.
Thank you Telescopes.com for such good service. I tried to order the same telescope from Toys-R-Us around Christmas time and they still haven't gotten it in stock. So appreciate your handling of this order.
