I just received this telescope as a gift. There is a lot of reading involved in order to get up to speed on how to use the telescope. I have only had a chance to use it once and the finder worked awesome! But what I'm seeing through the telescope looks just like what I'm seeing when I look at the sky any other night. I may need to get a little more comfortable with my telescope first because it does say you'll get good clear images of deep space. So far, no luck.
