5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent First Telescope! Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2024
Color: White verified Purchase Picked this up in planning a few weeks ahead of the April 8th 2024 eclipse. Overall extremely satisfied! Great first telescope for the price. Solidly built,very easy to assemble and take apart. Comes with a nice backpack that can hold everything if needed. The tripod is light but still firm enough to give decent stability and adjustments. The two included eye pieces give either 30x or 66x magnification. The included cell phone mount is nice and solid gives two appropriately sized viewing holes for each included eye piece. I got some excellent pictures of the moon and also the sun using a separately purchased solar lens cap. Was blown away by the footage I was able to capture of the eclipse as well. Additionally I also found it great for bird spotting during the day time. Overall a great quality, affordable first choice telescope for anyone looking to eye the sky.

5.0 out of 5 stars We spotted Saturn! Reviewed in the Netherlands on September 5, 2024
Color: Black Verified Purchase I bought it as a gift for my partner and he loved it! We were surprised about the reach of the telescope when we spotted Saturn's silhouette. A big dot with a leaned ring.We couldn't see more details, but we did see the moon as never before. Beatiful with the craters, and textures. That night it looked like a big taco (first quarter and yellow) And we took pictures from the mobile supporter, which worked fine to freeze these moments. It is nice that it brings a transportation bag, now we are going to travel more often to spot meteor showers. Can't wait!

Color: Black verified Purchase Das Teleskop kommt in einem Rucksack, welcher sich gut tragen oder leicht verstauen lässt. Das Teleskop ist leicht aufzubauen und auch einfach zu handhaben. Die Qualität ist super. Die Objektive lassen sich leicht motieren. So macht Sterne gucken Spaß. Preis/Leistung sind unschlagbar. Der Kauf ist sehr zu empfehlen.
