Review on 🔭 Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ Refractor Telescope with Fully Coated Glass Optics, Adjustable Height Tripod, and Bonus Astronomy Software Package by Kenyatta Mack

It won't give you Hubble or Voyager quality photos, and it won't allow you to see Jupiter the size of a tennis ball. What it will do is give you an impressively good view of the moon, let you see Mars well enough to see some colors, make the Galilean moons look like magic, and show Saturn's clearly defined rings . If you have a fairly good idea of the sky and its surroundings, a telescope can tell you many things worth seeing, and is powerful enough to allow a novice astronomer to observe the changes in Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings. position and orientation in time. The moon filter is a good addition to the spotting scope, especially if you have a more powerful eyepiece, but to be honest using other filters is questionable. We tried very hard to get a good view of Mars when it was close earlier this year (2018), but couldn't resolve it well enough to see anything clearly. However, we are happy with the telescope and test it regularly to see what we can see. If anything, seeing some of the outer planets with this telescope has whetted my daughter's appetite for stargazing, and we will likely need to buy her a better telescope soon. :)
