It is in the good to great category and pretty much free of any chromatic or spherical errors. The optic quality is on par with what you’d expect out of any Celestron telescope. The aperture of this model is 114mm which isn’t too powerful but it is good enough to view any objects of a magnitude of 13.2 and below which includes dozens of galaxies including Andromeda (3.4 magnitude), the Whirpool Galaxy (5.1), the Sombrero Galaxy (8.9) and many others. It is super useful for finding everything you want to see and saves lots of time and peace of mind. You can also search in the database for a specific galaxy, star, or other object and the app will guide you to where you need to point the mirror so you can see it. The app then will map out the sky for your location and date and show you on the screen what is it exactly you are looking at. You will be asked to follow some instructions to align the telescope. Attach your phone, and start the included app. It is a regular telescope but it comes with a smartphone holder. The StarSense line of telescopes does a lot to fix this issue. This part can be frustrating for a beginner who just wants to enjoy his or her brand new device. It is possible to spend 10-30 minutes trying to figure out where that galaxy that you are trying to view is, especially if it is not near any prominent star formation that you could use as a reference point. But the part no one talks about when they are introducing you to the stargazing hobby is that finding all those objects is hard and time-consuming. Observing galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and all the other deep-space objects is a beautiful experience.
