This is not an astronomy camera, it's a general purpose battery-powered, image-stabilized audio/video color camera. It communicates with your smartphone or tablet via WiFi. I dreagged out a rescued-from-the-trash 102mm el-cheapo refractor, clamped the camera on its eyepiece, and quickly focused on a fake windmill three miles away. I also tried shooting right into the low-angle sun glare in the ocean and the camera didn't blink (like I did)--the automatic gain control took it in stride. Mind you, the telescope made things seem close, not the camera--all it does is replace your eye. This is good because that means you can clamp it onto anything you might look through, such as a riflescope or microscope, or even just point it out the window. Set up is a little fiddly, but if you've hooked up a camera with its own WiFi hotspot it will be a snap. Select the camera wifi hotspot in your camera's settings and then use the app. In short, if you like cool stuff, this is well worth the money.

If you or someone you know is really into astronomy and/or astrophotography, but is past the beginner's stage, this is getting will get you through the amateur stage. We have used this to view the eclipse, UFO landing on the moon (just kidding) and the mountain peaks near us. And taking pictures with our iPhones is a great memory.

I have taking this to my children's school for STEAM events.

This is a cool little instrument that would be good for electronically assisted astronomy or for a public outreach. The sensor isn’t the biggest and I couldn’t fully frame the moon, about 85%, with a 60/360 telescope. With adjustable exposure you could most likely see some nebula with it. A longer cable would be nice to connect to an outside power source, such as your laptop.

I bought this tripod to mount my Celestron 20x80 astronomy binoculars on. It works great! I'm 6"5" tall and I can stand at full height and use the tripod with the binoculars mounted on it. It's easy to move the binoculars up & down and side-to-side. I couldn't believe the flexibility the tripod provides in height adjustment. Definitely worth the price.

We just love this binoculars!

I purchased this for use with my Celestron 25 x 100 Binoculars that weigh about 9 pounds. This is not a recommended use for this item, but setting the binoculars up in a safe location and keeping the weight balanced over the base and just pivoting to watch the views it worked well.The actual location was on a cruise ship balcony so we used it as the ship moved along. The key is to balance the weight and get it adjusted to the correct height for eye level viewing.I don't think it would work well for viewing stars or planets unless they were near the horizon.

Best Tripod out there.

These binoculars are brilliant.
