Whether you wear eyeglasses or not when you view the night sky, you'll appreciate the exquisite optical performance and build quality of our 3mm Orion Long Eye Relief telescope eyepiece. With a super-long 20mm eye relief, you can view comfortably.

I got this product the other day and absolutely love it. I haven't been able to use it to much at night but during the day bird watching and seeing nature very far away. I have no regret buying this product and would recommend this product to anyone who wants to see really long distances.

This is a great beginner telescope for all ages. The sturdy tripod and Altazimuth mount allow easy movement and tracking for daytime and nighttime viewing. The 70mm allows you to see objects brighter and in more detail than the 60mm.

I can easily put this is my car and drive it anywhere to see the stars and the planets. It's amazing how well I can see the moon through this telescope. There's so much detail. I would recommend this telescope to any ammature telescope buyer who doesn't want to spend that much money. This is the only telescope I will ever recommend to my close friends.

This was a gift and after setting it up and both of us using the telescope to see the moon on a very clear and bright night we were both disappointed with the low amount of magnification. The moon and its surface is viewable but still seems small and hard to see much detail. I honestly expected more.

Are you okay?

Were you using the 25mm eyepiece or the 10mm eyepiece that comes with the telescope because when I put mine together I first used the 25mm for looking at the moon, then I put the 10mm eyepiece in and it was a lot better. You can also buy a 3mm eyepiece for $100 to see the craters really well.
