I was surprised by the resolution and clarity of this small refractor telescope. Terrific lunar detail,Jupiter and 4 larger moons,bands on planet,Saturn and ring.If you got the 26mm and 9.7mm plossl eyepieces this is a great deal!(seems to be a confusing conflicting description of what eyepieces are actually included) Only downfall is the tripod which plagues most inexpensive telescopes. I remounted mine as a guide scope on a more secure mount. At a f12 ratio it does give that 'slow' refractor clarity. Had no problem resolving M42 in Orion in a light polluted backyard. In conclusion the accessories are worth the price even if you don't use the scope providing it comes with plossl eyepieces!
