Hello Irenka,Its brilliant i bought it for my 18 years old grandson and its been in constant use great telescope and fantastic value for money.I would certainly recommend it and hope this helps.

Hi can you attach your phone to this telescope to take photos?

I bought this over 10 years ago for my grandson,he still uses it so that speaks volumes.

I this suitable for a 7 year old boy?

I would not give this to a 7 year old. Good value for money but needs care and patience to operate

Is this really good to look at planets at night
