I recently purchased one of these telescopes, knowing absolutely nothing about telescopes, I learnt more in this video about setting it up than I did reading the manual, very informative video and straight to the point. Thank you

I received a telescope for Christmas. No instruction booklet, nothing. The website doesn't work, there is nothing on it. So grateful for this video. I'm going to actually use my telescope 🔭 now!

[nicolasburzynski]

Thank you. I needed this video cause last night I went out for two hours and didnt get any pictures cause when I saw the star i tried to take a picture but there wasnt any star on the screen so I'll try again today

My new favorite channel about telescopes

[tykeflo]

Had my scope for about 6 months, and just found your channel, taught me lots that I didn't know, and in such easy to understand terminology. Thank you👍👍👍

Short and sweet, straight to the point. I appreciate that

I have used just tried until now, yet I've decided to move forward given the opportunity of buying a basic telescope; this is a very nice and clear video to be able to mount and use the thing once it arrives; love the demonstration! Thanks for sharing that.

This was actually really great. You went through a lot of detailed info in a perfect amount of time. Not to long, not to short, just right. And I think I have a little bit better grasp of what I'm doing.

[yezdikdamo]

Man, you are a pro. I like the way you are teaching for a bigginer like me.

[elijahpawlicki]

best video there is out there, thank this actually made sense to me, i just got my first ever telescope and its a polaris 130 reflector

[leong]

Excellent! Exactly what I needed to understand how to set up the telescope! Thanks!

[mahmudurrahman]

Great stuff, bought myself a nat geo 76/700, can't see anything, but this tutorial makes more sense for the further set up. Thanks

[kringle]

Thank you very much, I found a real good quality mount at good will a year ago and to day I bought a celestron c90 in perfect condition for 5.00 .your video saved me a lot of time.

[MrBrandx]

This is the best instructional video I have watched . i would have never figured out how to balance my EQ.
Thank you.

[astrospeedcuber]

Wow, this is one of the best beginner tutorials I've seen! Thanks!

[boldasalion]

Thanks for the video! You totally nailed it because I’ve been having trouble seeing anything through the lens. I need to adjust my finder scope during the day. Shalom and thanks again!❤

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I got a Celestron astromaster 130eq about 1.5 years ago, and it’s been collecting dust for a while. It was very frustrating trying to use it, because the manual was quite hard to understand. The RA and DEC got me very confused, but you explained it so well and made it super easy to understand. Tonight was the lunar eclipse so I thought it was a perfect time to bust out the astromaster. I got a glimpse of the moon, but as I was switching from my 20mm to my 10mm lenses, I lost it because my telescope slipped. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me how to fix it, but now I understand! Thank you!

I just bought a Seben 1000 and was struggling with it and eventually getting frustrated. You provided very helpful tips.Thank You! Keep the videos coming for amateurs !

[gillesstevens]

Thanks a lot, i was kind of scared on starting with a new kind of telescope. Now i feel a lot more confident to go en gaze at the night sky
