Amazing travel buddy for stargazing

A very good option you can go for if you are interested to view the moon, planets, and few galaxies. I would recommend this telescope to beginners and people who are looking to explore the sky as an hobby also.

Very good for beginners

This is my first time to start with a telescope. I choose Pie matrix over celestron because I found this to have more value for money as well as for the objective that it is home made!
1. All the required components were received as described in the sales leaflet.
2. I tested the telescope for terrestrial objects and some sky objects. I faced some challenges initially in understanding the use of lenses and eye pieces but it worked out. Living in Gurgaon doesn't allow you to stargaze properly because of excess light pollution. Need to test again in dark sky location.
3. Based on the testing, the lenses have good and clear viewing quality. The mount and movement is smooth as well as balanced.
4. The carry baggage is of very good quality to carry all the components effortlessly.
5. There were very small bumps on tripod stand but the quality is good and sturdy.

Suggestion: Pie matrix should put some detailed videos online. I found 2 for setting up the telescope by there wasn't any for using the telescope. Pie matrix should put some detailed videos of specific viewing in the sky. Example, observing the moon, observing a distant planet, observing a deep sky/ nebula. By detailed i mean which lens to use, lens comminations, how to use red dot (I still don't know what the two spins used for). I also don't understand know why there is a smaller hole on the cap of the tube (is it like for specific viewing or aiwee).

Overall, 4 out of 5. If you are beginner. Go for it, as it is value for money with good quality. Once experienced, then one can go for computerized telescopes.

I'll add photos/ update this review once i have some dark location to stargaze.

Best Product and Service in Indian Market

I wanted to buy a telescope to encourage the science bent-of-mind in my son as well as because observation of stars, planets, etc. is fun.

I ordered this telescope after looking at various videos on youtube which suggested that Reflector styled telescopes are easier to maintain. Telescopes with glass lens will be fragile ie extra care, has to be taken.

The delivery was timely and the instructional videos provided by PieMatrix on their youtube page are pretty adequate for a person with some experience of handling scientific equipment - my engineering background helped here :). My son and I were able zero in on the moon and it was amazing !

But during the process, we observed that there were some glitches that made the process inefficient i.e. time-consuming.

The support from Piematrix saved the day - they arrange a one-on-one online session, at a time of my convenience with an expert to guide my son and me through installation process and best practices. The significance of each part was explained very well. This has improved experience vastly as we can zero into objects quickly.

Additionally, the moon filter, missed in the original shipment was immediately replaced with a minimum fuss.

I would really recommend getting this telescope from Piematrix as they go above and beyond to ensure that they meet their promises (and achieve COMPLETE customer delight in the process).
