🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


This telescope has received largely positive reviews with customers praising it for its excellent build quality, impressive optics, and ease of setup. It is particularly appreciated by beginners and amateur astronomers for its value-for-money and user-friendly design. However, some users have noted that it might not be ideal for viewing certain celestial objects in detail due to a smaller aperture size and that the stand could be more ergonomic.

Pros

  • 🔭 Excellent build quality and sturdy construction
  • 🌌 Clear and vibrant images of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects
  • 🛠️ Easy to assemble with clear instructions
  • 🏞️ Good for amateur astronomers and stargazing enthusiasts
  • 📱 Includes a smartphone adapter for taking photos

Cons

  • 🔬 Has a smaller aperture size, which may limit the level of detail
  • 🚸 Stand is shorter than optimal, causing discomfort during long observing sessions
  • ⏳ More time spent hunting for objects than viewing them
  • ℹ️ May not be suitable for viewing certain celestial objects in detail

Should I Buy It?

This telescope seems well-suited for beginners and novice users, owing to its ease of set-up, clarity of images, and additional features like a smartphone adapter. However, if you are more experienced or wish to observe celestial bodies in more detail, you might want to explore options with a larger aperture size and a more ergonomic design.


  • Aperture matters more than magnification
Color: AZ70400
I bought this knowing nothing about telescopes and not knowing what I could expect to see through this thing. Now I know more, I think this is a decent value, but it comes with A LOT of cons. In 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. It's typical for an "entry-level" telescope, and a decent value for the money if you want to get into stargazing without dropping 500 bucks or more on a bigger scope. However, if I could do it over again, I would've spent more and gone with a better one. First, as with all beginner telescopes, it is actually much harder to use than a more intermediate level one. This is something well-known in the amateur astronomy group I've joined, and they never, EVER recommend buying a beginner telescope, ESPECIALLY for kids. Because most kids like looking AT stuff more than looking FOR it. And with this telescope, far more time is spent hunting for objects than actually looking at them. My kid doesn't have the patience or attention span for that, but I rather enjoy the challenge, so I do it. Which brings me to the next problem. This is made for kids. As such, the stand is very short. Which means that all the time you spend hunting for things, you'll having to be hunched over, crouched down, or kneeling on the ground. And if you live in a place with a lot of light pollution, you won't be able to see much more than stars, the Moon, or the brightest planets. Even Mars is difficult to see through this telescope, and you can't make out any detail whatsoever on the surface. You can make out SOME faint detail on Jupiter, especially if you go away from light pollution on a clear, moonless night. And you can just make out Saturn's rings. Venus, on the other hand, is very easy to see. Especially now, near the end of April 2020, it is the brightest it'll be all year, so we've been looking at it every night. It's too bright, even at its dimmest, to make out any detail, but you can see what phase it's in. Galaxies, most nebulas, and many star clusters are beyond the ability of this telescope, but that being said, I was able to see a planetary nebula called The Ghost of Jupiter last night. For perspective, I've had a few weeks of use and practice, and feel comfortable with the telescope, and have a number of apps, charts, and star maps to help me find things, and it STILL took over an hour for me to finally find it, put it close enough to the center of my field of view to use with max magnification, and put it in focus. And even then, it looked like a hazy, bluish star. We couldn't make out any detail or the distinctive eye-shape that can be seen with even slightly larger scopes. Still, it was cool and the kid loved it. I consider it worth the effort, but my back is killing me today. Don't get me wrong, for an entry-level telescope, this is good. It'll serve our needs while we save up for an upgrade. But, like all entry-level telescopes, this is harder to use and not powerful enough to see much. All the time required to hunt for things, for what many may consider a disappointing result, could potentially end up killing a kid's enthusiasm. If you absolutely MUST get an entry-level telescope, this is a good choice. But if at all possible, save up and get a larger aperture. ... show more

  • Great Telescope!
Color: AZ70400
We bought this for our 6 year old son. (to use with adult supervision) We ordered it because it was a good price. However, we have been very pleasantly surprised by how awesome it is. My 6 year old is fascinated with space, especially the moon. He has wanted a telescope for a while but nice telescopes are so expensive! Finally, we caved and found this one for a good price. We hoped for it to be just decent, since it was for a 6 year old. We were pleasantly surprised to find it was way better than decent...It was great!! Not only my son loves it, but my husband is now fascinated with it and loves it too. They have spent quite a few clear nights outside loving the things they can see! Its great! I would buy it again in a heartbeat! ... show more

  • Great starter telescope!
Color: White
I got this telephone for my husbands birthday since he loves space, and it has performed better than expected. We’re able to see the moon and its craters clearly, which is pretty cool. My only issues are 1. The instructions are badly translated into English and hard to understand, and 2. The telephone doesn’t stay in position very well and tends to slip out of focus unless you manually hold it with your hands. ... show more

This was a gift to my husband for his birthday who loved aviation and astronomy and he was thrilled to see a close up of the moon and it has become a family event. We have taken it camping as it is very easy to carry!!

  • Great telescope at a great price
Color: White
Love the looks and build quality of this scope. I highly recommend this scope for the on the go. It’s just what I was looking for as 2024 solar eclipse about a week away. I have had many different telescopes but they cost much more then this but was too big and heavy for transporting plus the set up was costly of time. I recommend this scope and a few filters and maybe a high quality zooming eyepiece. Don’t get me wrong, I think the eyepieces in this kit are good for the kit. I like one eyepiece that does it all and makes it easier to transport. I want to say it’s a great telescope will give you hours of entertainment. Please keep in mind that I used a solar filter and a celestron XY cell phone camera mount to get these results. ... show more

  • May work for someone but I would not recommend for beginners.
Color: AZ70400
Here's the main thing, this is very, very flimsy. As a result, it is tremendously hard to get a good line on your intended object (planet) if you are not experienced with say, adjusting tools on a metal lathe. If you have done the latter, you know what I mean. You have to press past your target and see where it returns. For this reason, I would not recommend this for beginners as you may get discouraged, thinking you are doing something wrong. The optics seem fine, albeit crude. Certainly likely much more advanced than anything Copernicus used but, I would bet his devices were much more stable and capable of fine adjustments. Just keep this in mind. You get what you pay for. ... show more

  • Kid friendly
Color: AZ70400
Purchased this for homeschool study of space and we have had fun evenings of star gazing and moon examining. It didn't even cross my mind that it would also be excellent for bird watching (which is what my oldest has taken to using it mostly for). My children are 8 and 6 and they take it down, carry to where they want and put it back together all by themselves. So it is kid friendly. As to if you are already into space and bird watching to be honest it mat not be exact enough but for us and our use it works better than I expected. ... show more

  • nice starter telescope
Color: White
Chose this because it was #1 selling scope and I had no idea how to choose. Box arrived dented but no damage to the product itself. It was easy to put together. My only 2 issues 1 there are no instructions on how to use it once it’s set up and 2 the 5mm lens is broken.
