I am looking forward to polishing the sea jasper I received. It appears to be good quality and the stones in my bag look great even in rough form. I'll keep buying, with so many different stones to peruse.
I am happy with the Serpentine I received in quality. It came fast and am excited to tumble and polish it
The hand controller works as expected. The problem is the telescope is badly misaligned. I can’t get my secondary mirror to line up with my primary mirror. This has nothing to do with the hand controller. I bought this in 2016 from Canadian telescopes but they’re now out of business. I tried to contact Skywatch in the United States, but they will not return my call. So I’m stuck with a telescope. I can’t use and nowhere to turn to get it fixed.
I love these Tumblers, I’ve tried different brands but always come back to these. Consistently good results.
Very nice and helpful, I wish I had been given one of these when I was a child. Good quality, great speed and service from All-Star Telescope!!!
It has been two weeks and unfortunately I have only been able to make use of my new telescope twice. Here in Manitoba, forest fire smoke, thunderstorms and cloud cover and been my greatest challenge! The two times I have used my new 150P have been truly eye opening experiences! I've focused (no pun intended) on the moon so I can get accustomed to the telescope and eyepieces and my next target (on a clear night) is M31 Andromeda and I am completely confident it will be a great experience! The telescope was very easy to assemble, is light and very portable. It is well made of quality materials. I would highly recommend it to new astronomers!
When I purchased the telescope, I also bought a Televue 32mm Plossl eyepiece and it is true that the addition of a quality eyepiece is a worthwhile investment. The improvement is very evident. Once I am more familiar with the scope, I will definately be adding eyepieces but one step at a time!
Thanks to All-Star telescope for their direction and assistance! Great people to work with!
Love that they have parts available for what they sell. One of my orders was missing a part and they were able to provide it for me quickly.
The SCT 8 Edge is a well built scope. It will provide years of enjoyment looking at the night sky. It complements my 80mm doublet so I have different focal lengths to choose from.
My daughter loves her microscope. The details are impressive to look at on all things small. Our family will enjoy exploring the wonders of the micro world.
Easy setup with the PE-160 Pier Extension. Nice, light setup. Levelling is also easier than with the larger, steel tripods.
