Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, 80mm Aperture 600mm Refractor Telescope for Kids & Beginners, Compact and Portable Travel Telescopio with Backpack

This was purchased for our 10 yr old for Christmas. She loves it, it's easy for her to use on her own after we taught her how to use it. Easy setup and take down she is able to do it herself Favorite feature to be honest is the backpack it comes with. It is great storage and perfect for transport. We have taken it with us on every trip so far, the beach and the mountains. Can't wait for our next adventure with the telescope and letting her explore.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it. He previously had no knowledge of telescopes it is his first one. He didn’t have any problems learning how to use it or setting it up. He travels all over the country for work and takes it with him. It fits nicely in the travel bag that comes with it. I was very surprised that the tripod that is included is actually full size so that is a plus!

This telescope has completely blown me away! As a beginner astronomer, I was looking for something that was easy to use but still offered great views of the night sky. This telescope delivered on both fronts and exceeded my expectations.Assembly was a breeze thanks to the clear and concise instructions. I had it up and running in no time. The telescope itself feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy like some other entry-level models I considered.The views are absolutely stunning. I was able to clearly see the craters on the moon, the rings of Saturn, and even some of Jupiter's moons! The detail is incredible, and the images are bright and crisp. I've also used it to observe some nebulae and star clusters, and I'm constantly amazed by what I can see.What I really appreciate about this telescope is how user-friendly it is. The controls are intuitive, and it's easy to focus and adjust. Even my kids have been able to use it with minimal guidance, which has made stargazing a fun family activity.If you're looking for a telescope that's perfect for beginners but still offers impressive performance, I highly recommend this one. It's a fantastic value for the price, and it's opened up a whole new world of exploration for me. I'm so excited to continue using it and see what other wonders of the universe I can discover! Five stars!

One of my pet peeves about items I receive from Amazon is the packaging. Frequently it is beat up, although usually the contents are OK. Since this was a relatively fragile item, I took pictures as I opened the package. And even though the outside cardboard box was slightly bent, you can see from the pictures that the inner packaging is outstanding. Everything inside was in perfect condition. So that was a very good start for this item.Each line below corresponds to one of the pictures above. I'm not sure how to insert the pictures into the text.Telescope package with the cardboard shipping box in back.Inside the telescope box is a padded backpack.The individual components were well packaged in either bubble wrap or other padded materials inside the backpack carrying case.And here are the individual components after I had unpackaged them from their protective padding.Right away, I was impressed by the care taken by this company in shipping and packaging their product. Unlike many other items I receive, this one probably could've been dropped from the top of a two-story building without any damage to the very fragile components inside. But don't try that!!!This product has a very good owners manual. Set up was quite simple and didn't take very long. The unit actually has a small cell phone clamp that attaches to the eye piece of the telescope. You can see that on the right hand side of the setup picture.I was just fiddling around with the telescope and took this picture of our purple Martin house from about 100 yards away with the low magnification lens. The picture would've been much more sharp if I had used my remote shutter button. Touching the camera lens to take a picture shook it slightly and caused this picture to appear to be out of focus. Unfortunately we are in a waning moon right now. But I will certainly be looking to take some pictures of the moon just before it reaches full moon stage.I am quite impressed with this telescope. From the packaging, to the ease of set up, to a fairly good owners manual (which is unheard of these days ), everything about this purchase has been five star. For the price, I didn't expect it to be such a good telescope. I'm looking forward to using this when we travel out west to do a lot of stargazing. Unfortunately, because our neighbors all have bright security lights, light pollution is very bad where we live. But where we Boondock out west in Southern Utah, the stargazing should be fantastic. And with this neat little backpack to stow and protect everything, it will be easy to place in our camper for traveling.We finally got that full moon I was hoping for. So I wanted to add a picture that I took using the cell phone adapter on the high-powered lens. For an amateur, I thought the photo came out pretty nice. And with the naked eye, you see even better detail than shown in the new picture I just added.

Great intro telescope for the kids, some parts are a little cheap here and there so don't be to rough with it.

We were so excited to get our grandson his first telescope. I read reviews and felt this was a good starter. I know giving it to him for Christmas living in the northeast was a bit of a teaser as far as going outside (in the cold) to see the moon. But at the end of the year we went down to North Carolina for the holidays and brought the telescope with us. I was very pleased with the instructions and how to put it together. We had a fun time looking at the stars. and again, easy to put away for the next time. Looking forward to warmer weather and going out during a full moon. Our grandson is so interested in the solar system and like I said, it's a great beginning. Thank you for your product.
