Matt ... This scope is ok for a person who's starting out ... with very little money to spend.... Yes ... It's a bargain.

It's ok for general observation of the moon, Jupiter, some dso's ( deep sky objects ) ... but don't expect to much from it .... if it's real light in weight .... the slightest breeze will have the eyepiece shaking ... terrible time getting a ' still image ' at the eyepiece.

I've heard people refer to these types of scopes as ... Department Store Scopes ' ... hence the National Geographic Branding.

But for the money you paid ... ... you could probably sell it again on eBay and make a ' tidy ' profit.
