    • A great low-budget OTA for customizing and experimenting. Replace the diagonal and it's a great spotter for the price.

I bought this scope because it was under $60 and I wanted something that I could customize and experiment with for imaging. I was pleasantly surprised! On the bad side, the diagonal was not good. It produced a double image. I didn't care since I wouldn't be using it anyway. The finder was also not great. It worked, but was somewhat tricky to align. Again, I wasn't planning on using it so I didn't care. Now for the good: The 70mm objective lens is surprisingly good for a "beginner" scope. It's actually a decent piece of glass. The rack & pinion focuser is just fine. With a little tension adjustment it worked better than I was expecting. The tripod was also better than I was expecting. I'm not using it, but it is a functional tabletop tripod and I'll find a use for it. The oculars were also better than expected and are going into my collection. The carrying case is great and I'm using it to hold accessories for my other scopes. Now for the really good: The objective lens, optical tube assembly and focuser are excellent for the price. The focus tube is long enough for use with any CCD or CMOS camera. I mounted mine on a fluid pan-head mount, swapped out the finder, and am using it with a Celestron NexImage 5 camera for taking pics of the moon. The 400mm focal length combined with a 7mm CMOS chip provides the perfect field of view for lunar imaging. Put a decent 45-degree correcting diagonal on it and it makes an excellent spotter for birds, etc.. I'm using it for an ultra-light wide-field grab and go imager. I used it last night to grab some shots of the November full moon and it worked great! If you are a tinkerer like me, for 60 bucks you can't go wrong. If you are willing to spend a few extra bucks on a decent diagonal it can make an excellent spotting scope for under $100! ... show more

    • Don't expect too much...
Style: 300x40070
I am a pretty advance amateur-astronomer and have used a few different telescopes. I bought this as a "travel scope" and to use as a guide-scope for astro-photography. I suspected it would be plastic and rather "cheapo" looking, and I was right... it is! But, it is not wobbly or bad to handle, surprisingly sturdy and good optics considering the price. You do get what you pay for when it comes to telescopes and expecting to see "Hubble" images through this scope is bound to make you disappointed. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the crisp image this scope gave when looking at the moon. The supplied barlow (3x) and eyepieces are laughable to a "serious" amateur-astronomer but they do actually perform very well. Unfortunately a 4mm eyepiece is too powerful for a scope like this, it would have made more sense to ship it with a 8 or 12 mm instead. The barlow is plastic but the lens is actually of quite good quality and does not stretch or blur the image noticeably around the edges. If you already have a set of eyepieces you can throw the supplied once in the garbage without any regret, if not, the supplied ones will work pretty good but don't expect any 300x magnifications to work, that's utter bull and shouldn't even be mentioned... Make sure to use the 45 degree diagonal as you will not get focus otherwise... You will get stunning views of the moon using this scope, you will also be able to see the bands on Jupiter and the rings on Saturn as well as track their moons. I would rate the image quality of the scope to 4 stars considering the price but the poor quality of the eyepieces and the finder-scope takes it down to a 3 star. ... show more

    • It is a Telescope.
Style: 300x40070
Encouraged by some of the reviews I bought this product through Amazon. The telescope arrived promptly and in apparently good condition. The objective lens diameter is 70mm with a focal length of 400mm. There are two eyepieces supplied, 20mm and 4.0mm and a CD also comes with the package. There were some Windows files on the CD which I could not read as I use a Mac computer, though I understand that some flavors of Windows cannot read them either. There was also a readable PDF file which was devoted to advice on purchasing a telescope. Two things stand out, the advice never to buy a cheap telescope (!!) and the recommendation that for astronomy 100-125 times magnification is the best. I live on the Pacific Northwest coast and on the few evenings when the weather was appropriate I tried out my new telescope, as well as during the day. The 20mm lens is fine for terrestrial viewing, birds, trees boats etc, and gives a decent view of the moon- though almost any pair of cheap binoculars will do this alsol The planet Venus, which was the brightest object in the western sky just looked like a pinpoint of light. Through the 4,0 mm lens, which should give a magnification of x100, the planet was dim, fuzzy and spotted with inappropriate colors that might represent chromatic aberration, though an optical specialist would have a better idea about this. I compared this to the result when looking with my old Bushnell telescope with a x20 to x60 zoom. At the highest magnification with this, the planet was discrete and its phases were readily seen on different nights. I considered sending the Barska back, but instead I bought a 6.4mm super plossl Meade eyepiece lens---still a horrible view of the planet. I will probably end up giving the telescope to my grandsons so they can watch birds- or girls. Obviously I would not buy this product again. ... show more
