This is a very big and heavy telescope so if you're not fit and able you may need a friend to help you move it around. It is very easy to use and set up and gives you good practice at combing the sky when locating objects. This review is for beginners so here is the exciting stuff: you can see Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and its moons, Mars and obviously the moon in very good detail. It comes with two decent eye pieces, and honestly there is no need to buy anymore.
The one you will use the most is the super 10mm lense which is a perfect strength for seeing Jupiter and Saturn along with clear detail on the moons surface. This is an excellent beginner level telescope.
That said, this telescope will give you lots of enjoyment. It is possible to make out details on the surface of Jupiter. This telescope is a good place to start, from this telescope its up to you how serious (financially) you want to take your hobby.
