Description

The Travel Scope 70 is a refractor telescope perfect for terrestrial and celestial viewing on the go. The Travel Scope can view the planets, moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy at night and with the erect image star diagonal makes the optical tube ideal for using as a spotting scope during the day.Setting up the telescope is a breeze and will have you observing in no time. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table. An included accessory tray will help you keep track of eyepieces and other small items while observing.The total telescope kit weighs in at just 4.5 pounds—perfect for impromptu observing sessions or transporting wherever life’s adventures take you.Star Spotting on the Go: With the seemingly infinite number of stars and celestial objects to observe in the night time sky, it’s well understood that you are not going to be able to observe them all from one location. However, the problem with most telescopes is that they are big, heavy and bulky, making transporting them anywhere a considerably slow and cumbersome task.Pack up your bags and prepare to see stars with the Celestron Travelscope 70 Refractor Telescope designed with traveling in mind whilst still offering the same exceptional value and quality associated with the Celestron brand. Featuring a compact and portable design, the telescope and all included accessories can be easily packed into the included custom backpack for the ideal transportation and storage solution. Take it with you on hikes, car journeys, holidays and more, having peace of mind that everything you need for clear, high-quality celestial observation is secured in one place and safe from becoming damaged or lost. When you want to use the telescope, simply remove from the bag and set-up in several extremely easy steps thanks to the preassembled, no-tools required, photographic tripod constructed out of light but strong aluminium to provide reliable stability whilst maintaining a good level of portability.For an optical experience that is really out of this world, the Travelscope 70 Outfit also features all coated glass optical elements, so you experience nothing but the clearest, crispest images during both celestial and terrestrial observations, with the erect image diagonal and smooth altazimuth mount ensuring that you can correctly orientate your views and track objects with supreme ease and comfort.

    • 50mm Good Scope for the Money
Size: 50 with Backpack
I have 40 years’ experience with telescopes and hope I can help. First, the 50mm is a great first scope. This is designed as a travel scope and so is small (12 inches long) and light. The tube and screws are the only metals pieces, which helps with the portability and backpack use. The tripod included with the 50mm is adequate for most sitting uses but it is not tall for standing or sturdy at high powers. For example using the 3x barlow and the high power eyepiece it would be difficult to have a stable view. In that case a stronger tripod (at the cost of some portability) would be best. A standard camera tripod could be used with better results. The 1.25 eyepieces included with the 50mm are fair but not the best for people with glasses because you have to hold your eye close to the eyepiece. There are better eyepieces with better eye relief if you plan to stay with the hobby or if you are over 50. I would not recommend replacing the eyepieces for the smaller scopes for two reasons, (1) more expensive eyepieces will add more weight to your setup and (2) if you don’t need the portability a larger scope may come with better eyepieces. Many scopes come with low quality eyepieces to cut costs. The 50mm optics produces a sharp image and the scope focuses well with the supplies eyepieces. It is important to know that a law in optics is a larger aperture will produce a brighter image because it is able to capture more light. Example a 90mm scope will provide a better view at night when compared to the 50mm. This is not a big issue for daytime use with the 50mm scope. Also the supplied diagonal is best used as a spotting scope for daytime terrestrial viewing or bird watching. A con is the finder scope which I had to turn the diagonal sideways to use the finder; there is no room for a straight through view. On a clear, dark night the scope will show good images of star fields, a few star clusters and a few other objects. The included 45 degree diagonal is harder to use when viewing objects that are high in the sky; for those items a 90 degree diagonal works better. Expect to see good sharp views of the moon although a moon filter would help cut the brightness when the moon is full. With practice you can see Jupiter’s moons as well as Saturn’s rings but a larger aperture (80-90-102mm) would provide more detail. In a smaller scope don’t expect to see much detail and Mars, Venus and other planets will only appear as small colorful dots even with an 80mm scope. The 50 /60 /70mm will not provide detailed view of any galaxies. Bottom Line: this is a good portable scope but at this price point don’t expect the quality you would get from a larger 102mm scope which is 3 times more expensive. This scope is perfect for daytime and travel use. The scope is good for kids under supervision (don’t ever look at the Sun). If you want to do nighttime astronomy I would look at an 80mm scope for portability or a 102mm which shows more details and is much better but less portable. If you need better eyepieces and a new tripod buying a larger or more expensive scope will be a better choice. If you already know you will stick with this hobby the go with the 80 or 102 mm and replace the eyepieces with better quality ones. ... show more

    • Good for moon watching and if you have the patience to try and see the stars.
Size: 50 with Backpack
First off, I would like to say, I personally love this telescope. It's not the best telescope, and that is something I do have to give an honest review about, hence the knock of two stars, but I still love it. Now onto the honest review. So, my ex purchased this for the both of us. I had been going out with him for a little over a year then, and honestly, we both talked about having a telescope together. Since this is the first telescope we got to have together, that's why I loved it a lot - it's not the best but it does the very bare minimum, and I like it. Now the pros are that the telescope itself seems to feel of decent quality, however as others have pointed out, it is quite blurry if one tries to look at a star. It took me messing with the telescope for a while to get it to try and focus on a star - when it did, it was great. However, that's one of the cons - the stand is VERY shaky and unstable if you try to move it ever so slightly. So even if I plant this in a spot and force it to stay still with my feet, if you so much as moved away from the telescope, you will have trouble being able to have the telescope be where you had it, because the stand moves that much. Pros: comes with different lens to use, and the travel bag. Cons: is not good for if you're looking to see stars SEVERELY close, like galaxy type close. Just shimmers of light in the distant night sky. Conclusion: good telescope for kids who have never used a telescope before. As for an adults first time telescope? Up to you if you want that. I am personally happy with it despite its flaws, because just being able to see the stars at the extent I have seen them through this telescope is more than I have ever experienced before. So it is still exciting for me. But it wasn't exciting for my ex, who has seen stars through telescopes in the past. He had wanted to return the telescope - I told him that I didn't want him to. (YOU CAN THANK ME CELESTRON FOR YOU BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE MONEY - YOU'RE WELCOME), because I really did/do cherish that it was the first telescope that he ever got for us. I haven't had the chance to use it again, partially because I don't like being outside alone in the dark, but I did spend almost 3 hours using it one night (alone). ... show more

    • this is small portable telescope
Size: 50 with Backpack
I didn't realize it's small. I wanted something a lot bigger. The quality is still fantastic despite the small size. The free travel bag is a bonus.

    • EXCELLENT Starter Telescope for SPACE Viewing and MOON
Size: 50 with Backpack
Seeking telescope for 9 yr to 15 yr ages, to be able to see planets & Galaxy's better than just eyesight. This product is a wonderful tool for that purpose. It comes complete, light weight, excellent lens, easy to setup and fold up, for the CARRY ALL backpack bag. I suggest no one to purchase any lesser products for middle grade schoolers and/or those who do go back packing on short weekend camping trips. As to the MOON viewing it is excellent. It may be possible to capture MOON & SPACE images, but takes some more attachments rigged. The Price Point is the proof it is the minimum SCOPE size for starters of SPACE viewing and it came from AMAZON in excellent safe packaging. ... show more

    • Worth it for a starter
Size: 50 with Backpack
I bought this for my daughter to view Mars and she really enjoyed it! It was really great quality for a starter. The tripod was as others rated it in my opinion, that it could have been better. The only thing I wish the barlow magnifier was a bit better it was not as clear as we hoped when compared to another scope we used to view the planets but over all great for a starter. ... show more

    • Gift for child interested in astrology.
Size: 50 with Backpack
Bought as gift for 7 year old niece who wanted a telescope. I did not want to buy a kids toy but also did not want to spend a fortune. I chose this product because it had good reviews, came with a carrying case, and the tripod had adjustable legs (I read a review of a different telescope with a tabletop tripod and it's use was limited due to not being able to be set many places, especially outside). ... show more

    • Always look up☝️👀
Size: 50 with Backpack
This telescope is great for looking up to the heavens. Why the overall 4 star?, the tightening screw to hold the viewfinder on the telescope won’t catch and hold it. Currently I’m using rubber bands to hold it in place, overall it’s a great investment!
