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.
Setting it up was easy, but what I really appreciate is the convenient carry bag that holds everything nicely without it being difficult to fit everything inside. There's actually even room to add a little more accessories, if we ever decide to get any. The bag will also make it really easy to travel with if we ever leave the city lights for darker skies.
We haven't used the phone adapter feature yet, but the idea of capturing something cool through the telescope is really appealing. We're definitely looking forward to using it more when the weather warms up a little more. No regrets on buying it though.
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024
It took time to figure out how to find the moon and stars in the sky, but once we got the hang of it with a good feel for the telescope, it was amazing. We have spent so many full moon nights outside (even in the cold!) to see the moon and take awesome pictures of it. I love being out in the yard with my family while we're taking turns finding the moon or stars in the sky.
This is such a great, affordable, beginner telescope to help you learn all the different lenses, navigation and just not spending a ton of money to have a new fun activity with your family.
The instructions were vague, not clear to understand.
Some of the language or lingo was very unfamiliar which caused further confusion.
After 4 different competent adults attempted to put the telescope together, using more common sense than anything else, none were ever able to get it to work properly. And boy did we all try for hours on end.
In particular, we never could figure out how to get the scope to focus and be able to view the moon properly.
Clarified, step-by-step instructions that explain to someone who is unfamiliar to the subject would have been more helpful.
We were not successful with either viewing "How-To" videos nor with a customer service to assist.
The quality and design were good but being able to use it was a failure.
Best of luck to anyone who masters this piece of equipment.
