            Additional Info:
            A message from Explore Scientific regarding orders and delays: We want to thank everyone for their patronage during this unprecedented era of the pandemic. Many families have discovered the moon, planets, and stars from their own backyards, and this has caused a great surge of interest in astronomy. This led many to acquire their first telescope or to upgrade their old one. Indeed, throughout the industry many enthusiasts have found many items out of stock and very long backorders. Explore Scientific has increased manufacturing demand by expanding our manufacturing facilities and workforce. In addition, we have adopted a program of regularly communicating with our community through live video programs with live chat dedicated to astronomy and exploration where we do our best to keep everyone informed (see explorescientific.com/live).

            I purchased a mount for a telescope. The model is IExos 100. The advertising literature states that the mount may be controlled by an Ipad, a pc or an android device. In fact Explore Scientific told me that only an Ipad would work so I had to buy a 500 Ipad. The mount is used to point at objects in the sky and move the telescope so that objects stay in the eyepiece. The ipad worked briefly. When I called back I ended up talking to ******* who at first was helpful. After some discussions it appeared that the mount would not respond to the Ipad and ******* said she wanted to talk to Tj and would call back. That was yesterday. Today ******* will not answer my call, nor email me. It is apparent also that the advertising concerning the android device or pc was erroneous or deceptive. The mount was $600, a polar alignment scope for $100 and battery pack for $100. I would be satisfied with a refund, repair or replacement. ******* ******, Victoria Texas

            I bought a ed 152 telescope off Amazon. Amazon showed it with a hard case and viewfinder. Neither showed and only the ed 152 showed up. Contacted them thinking it was a mistake or a box didn't ship. They said they would send a new one then changed their mind a day later after what they said was upper management involvement. They scrambled to change their Amazon listing same day. I got shorted about $430 in gear.
