Bought this for my husband’s birthday. Was looking for something portable, easy to use with a decent aperture at the price point. Also I know my husband wanted a smartphone adapter to take photos. This ticks all the boxes. Was amazing to see the moon in such detail and it’s very straightforward to use. Only slight criticism was that the plastic holder for the lenses had a manufacturing fault and could not be attached. But the telescope itself is ace and overall both myself and my husband are very pleased with it.

I would not recommend this telescope. Assembly directions was not easy to follow-video assembly was not the same telescope. The adjustable tripod total height was too short. More importantly night vision Nota….not a thing…totally dark…. fade to black ???? Don’t waste your money on this product..

I star gaze as a hobby and this is the perfect telescope for me! It was very well packed. It took me a little time to put it together, but it works great. First night I looked at the suface of the moon, Jupiter and 4 of its moons, and Saturn with its rings. My favorite thing is the smart phone attachment that lets you view the image on your phone and even capture the image to share!

After doing a lot of research, trying to decide on the perfect telescope for my teenage son, Who has lately shown a lot of interest in astronomy ..
I have found that with telescopes, the aperture size matters much more than magnification. The bigger the aperture, the better the image will be. This is a 70mm aperture (2.75 inches), which is about as small as you can get. Very typical for an “entry-level” telescope,
I found this model to be perfect for my Son who is just beginning to get into this hobby
if you want to get into stargazing without dropping 500 bucks or more on a bigger scope this is the model for you.
My son is 5‘3“ and it’s a comfortable height for him, Also, I find it to be very durable, tripod is strong and sturdy.. it was also very quick and easy to set up, we were using it five minutes, after removing it from the box .. it has a very professional look and feel to it.. Great viewing experience overall!
The phone adapter fits his iPhone 11 securely and perfectly
It came in a beautiful plain white box, perfect for gifting. It was actually a double surprise after opening the wrapping paper, and then having to open the box as well..
very happy with this purchase, totally worth the money!

Surprisingly straightforward to put together. Very light and easy to use with reasonably good set of instructions. Good beginners’ ‘scope.
Dropped a star because there is no bag included. Whilst not heavy, it is bulky with the tripod and several pieces, some delicate. Using it does involve moving around house, garden and even taking it away on trips. I did source a good bag but it took a lot of research. Maybe a package with optional bag should be available?

Hello. This telescope was easy to assemble and amazing clarity when looking at the stars. I have never seen the moon so clear. This telescope came quickly and was packaged perfectly. The phone attachment is really neat since you can capture photos of what you are looking at. My husband and I really enjoy this telescope and can’t wait to share it with family/friends.

This was a present for my fiancée who has longed for a telescope for a number of years but was unsure of the technicalities of buying and setting up a telescope. This proved a great purchase with an easy assembly and she was soon out stargazing that same night. She is particularly happy with the phone compatibility and she is already capturing some great images. For a beginner this item captures the level of assembly perfectly to what is clearly a robust scope. The amount time from assembly to use is great and there is nothing daunting about diving right in. One quibble was that the accessory tray doesn’t fit as described but it does fit on and is still solid enough. Would recommend for any budding stargazers out there.

I’m so happy with this purchase !
My husband bought this for me for my 33rd birthday. I’ve never owned a telescope or had one before.
I wanted to have a decent one as I have always wanted to s t a r g a z e and see beautiful things.
The telescope is definitely a bang for your buck in my opinion. I did read most of the reviews before I purchased this. I agree with how amazing it is and definitely give it a five star.
I personally didn’t assemble it as my husband did prior to giving it to me. I asked him and he said it was relatively easy and took him about ten minutes.
Looking forward to the nicer weather to sit outside longer and enjoy the sky 🌟💫⭐️✨

I knew nothing about telescopes and when I opened the box I was initially daunted.
The instructions were really easy to understand and I assembled it within 10 mins.
It’s a very sturdy, well made product. Feels expensive. All fittings were of high quality and give confidence that the telescope is not a piece of cheap tat.
When I had it all set up, the next step was to learn how to focus it and this was probably the hardest part as you really need to understand the trajectory of the tube and lightscope.
I couldn’t see anything and then realised it was pointing too high and at a Misty, foggy sky.
I lowered it to focus on a tree and from that soon had it rotating and tracking objects across the sky.
Really lovely piece of kit, I’ve downloaded a skymap so I can see the constellations and track them across the sky.
Still waiting to get the moon, its been hidden by clouds so far.
The phone attachment is great and I have used it to photo birds and planes across the sky.
Again, awaiting a clear night to capture the moon. Was not expecting to have that accessory included, but there really is everything you need to be up and running within 10-15 mins.
Really great product.

I’m really satisfied with the purchase of this product the telescope work great, I had the opportunity also see Jupiter and Saturn, if you are a beginner and you want to buy your first telescope for a good price this is a great option for you.

If you’re interested in seeing the details of a full moon, this telescope is great. It is solid clean construction, and looks great when stowed away in a living room. Only downside I have found so far is that it uses a mount bar instead of mount rings. This limits rotating the scope when adjusting and balancing it. You’ll want to attach to the bar all the way towards to the front, the center of gravity with default lenses is right at the edge of the bar towards the objective lens (opposite of the eyepiece). This gives a bit of room for re-adjusting when adding anything heavier on the eyepiece end like a cellphone. Overall however, very happy with this scope and it is sure to lead to a lot of entertainment and discovery in years to come.

I was sceptical if I would get a good telescope at this price point, but i was nlown away at how good it was. The telescope has great optics, really solid tripod and good slo motion controls. I live in a suburb of light polluted city but I am still able to geat great pictures of the moon and see Saturn’s rings. it even has a good camera adaptor.

Easy to assemble and great for beginners. You will quickly get the astronomy bug. Fantastic moonshots and an exciting moment for me was the first time I spotted Jupiter and it’s moons and then Saturn and it’s rings – although only tiny, they were undoubtedly the two gas giants.
Highly recommend this product
