Good entry level telescope

2026-01-26    -Matthew

This telescope was my first, and I hoped it would provide great views, and it has. It was easy to set up, and after a few minutes of use, I could easily keep a star in the field of view. Packaging was adequate, and the instructions were clear. For a beginner like myself this is an amazing telescope, however more advanced users may want to opt for a motorized telescope, and perhaps more lenses to include some Barlow Lenses. Also easy connect to my iphone. 👌

The image quality is stunning — he’s been able to see so many details in the moon’s surface, planets, and even distant stars that we couldn’t have imagined. The magnification is strong but easy to adjust, and the stability of the mount keeps everything steady for long viewing sessions.My husband has always been fascinated by astronomy, and this telescope has reignited his passion for stargazing. It’s built solidly, and we can tell it will last for years. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced astronomer, this telescope is an excellent choice. It’s a fantastic value for the price, and I’m so glad I made this purchase

Great Beginner Telescope – Clear Views and Good Accessories

I used this telescope during a recent lunar eclipse, and it delivered a beautiful and clear image of the Moon. The craters and shadows were very sharp, especially at low zoom. I tried all three lenses (25 mm, 10 mm, and the 3× Barlow) and combined them as suggested in the manual to achieve different levels of magnification. It was fun to experiment and see how much detail I could get.Each lens comes in a plastic protective case, which is very convenient for storage and safe transport.The tripod is basic but works fine. Since it’s lightweight, I added a bag with small rocks (found on-site) as a counterweight to reduce vibrations from the wind. Aiming the telescope by hand took some practice. Although the Moon is a large target, it moves quite fast at higher zoom levels, so I ended up watching most of the eclipse using the lowest magnification — which gave me a more stable and wide view.The smartphone adapter was a bit tricky to align at first, but with a little patience I got it working and managed to take some decent photos of the Moon. The grip is firm once it's properly adjusted.This telescope is great for beginners like me. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and comes with everything you need to start observing. I definitely plan to use it again for future events and to explore the planets and stars.

Overall I’m very happy with this telescope. I’m working with it and learning more everyday, but I do wish it was a bit more sturdy. Other than that it’s a wonderful product.
