Blurry at all distances...including 5 1/2 feet!!!!!!!

The images are out of focus and can’t read the name of planets and constellations

It is completely out of focus and no way to bring it into focus. The "instructions" say 5.5 feet is ideal. I measured 5.5 feet out on the floor and nothing was in focus. There are a bigger set of instructions on how to install the batteries than on the scope itself.

Bought as a gift for my son because he loves the solar system, especially Neptune. Tried it out Christmas morning but the images were blurry with no way to focus them. Also the package mentions "all 8 planets" but Neptune is no where to be found. Returning this ASAP.

We bought the GeoSafari Constellation and Solar System Explorer and our daughter is loving it! She has always been interested in the stars and constellations and now she can view and study them anytime she wants - even when it's cloudy outside! It shows the constellations in 3 different forms and comes with a small book. The book is great for teaching facts on the constellations. It's also great for little as well as older kids. If you have a little astronomer, I highly recommend this item!

This product is an amazing way to show children the solar system and stars! I was surprised by how clear and detailed the images were. We counted the stars in the constellations and talked about the features of each planet. The Night Sky Stories book was the cherry on top. We loved all the fun facts and information on each planet and constellation.

This is a pretty neat item, my kids liked using it in their rooms, particularly enjoyed viewing the moon and planets. If the recipient is into outer space, the planets, constellations, etc. this would be a great choice. If they aren't it's cool to use as a nightlight, but children would really get the most out of it if they had an celestial interest.

When I took it out of the box, my daughter's face fell. She was very disappointed that it wasn't a "real" telescope. I encouraged her to try it. She is glad she did. She looked through all the constellations, asking questions along the way. She then wanted a book that talked about them. After adding the book to her reader, she has fallen asleep with a different constellation projected on her ceiling as her "night light". Then next morning,she tells me all about it over breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised.
