Telescope 40070

After playing my daughter and I were playing with this telescope we ended up liking it more and more. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with questions that I had. Start off with the larger lens first and then work your way down to the smaller lens for stronger magnification. I must say that the phone holder to us was pretty useless because once you lock onto your target even with the phone the weight of the phone brings the telescope down or moves it off a little bit to where you are off Target. That is the only thing that I do not like about the telescope. For viewing and teaching your children about the solar system and planets this is useful. I can say that the Moon looks really good in it but I would recommend using the moon filter. I'm working on a adjustable rod that holds supports the weight of the phone with adjustment so once you find your target with the phone clip you are able to zoom in even more on the phone and take pictures. I was able to see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter and all of its moons successfully with this telescope. I mean for the price you can't beat it but make sure that you are unsteady ground. I had a problem using it on the grass it got wobbly pretty quick.

Viene con maleta, para poder llevarlo a donde quieras, y es fácil de ensamblar.

Granddaughters like it

I ordered my daughter a telescope for her birthday because she really wanted one and she was so excited about it! When the telescope finally arrived my husband & my son were putting it together and one of the main parts did NOT fit! I contacted the seller and sent them the pictures showing them that the part did not fit and they said they would send a new part. We waited over a week for the new part to get here from their warehouse in China and guess what?! It was the SAME exact part that we already had that did NOT fit the telescope! At this point I asked the seller for a full refund so that I can just go somewhere else & purchase my daughter a new telescope. She’s upset and she’s out birthday money that she spent for this new telescope. I do appreciate the Seller responding to my messages quickly and trying to fix the problem but I’m upset that even after sending pictures and explaining to them, they still sent the wrong part. This has been just too much of a hassle for something that I’ve already paid for.

Paid extra shipping for it to arrive by Christmas Eve. Order placed Dec 11, seller didn’t ship until Dec 23. Arrived Dec 26.

I had no previous experience with a telescope so I knew nothing at all about setting one up. However the spotting scope is adjustable so I started by getting a street lamp in view and then adjusting until the telescope matched. Then I received an email from the seller explaining a few things (unsolicited assistance and much appreciated) and boom! I was able to look at objects in the night sky and easily identify if they were celestial bodies or hovering aircraft, look at the moon, my son and I are now going for planets as they align with our global position. The included tripod wasn’t my favorite but I already owned a nice tripod and was able to convert it for use with the telescope. Neat for beginners and at this price point you cannot complain at all.

Great for beginners - Grandkids enjoy learning! Nice case for lenses, handy base with holder holes, easy to use and set up in minutes. Has nice carrying case.

Not bad as a training aid but pretty much worthless any kind of star gazing.
