It looks cool, and that's where the performance ends.
I was hopeful this would be at least a moderately decent telescope, so I spent about 6 hours trying to prove to myself and my 10yr old son that it was. Not a single feature is executed well. The spotting scope is almost impossible to align, but if you manage that, you can't move anything because the scope isn't mounted rigid enough. The axial locks move the tube off target as you tighten them. The tripod is too wobbly to focus on anything with any lens configuration. The mirrors are misaligned and wobbly.
Our first night of use after some frustrating assembly and adjustment (due to missing part) we observed the supermoon Jan 1 and 2nd 2018. Kids were really looking forward to seeing the man on the moon, but were just as excited to see lunar craters!
I contacted the company directly about the part but had no response. I will change this rating to a 5 star if I succeed in getting the missing part. The duct tape looks terrible on a new telescope.

The findersope lined up perfectly, but the lens you look thru was off, it didn't line up with the finderscope and had small black fragment pieces on the mirror - must have damaged in shipping. it was shipped in its own box, and not put in a larger box with styrofoam so it could easily have been bumped around during shipping causing the misalignment. We tried all the knobs to align it but it wouldn't. we finally took the lens piece out and viewed the moon thru it in our hands and it was great, just can't see it when attached to telescope. Additionally, every time you get the finderscope centred so the gridline is exactly on an object (moon, etc) as soon as you let go of the telescope it drops 2" so you have to realign the finderscope again, tighten everything really hard and it still drops. we saw at the moon better thru binoculars. very very disappointing to our family.
