Review on πŸ”­ SIXGO 70mm Aperture 300mm AZ Mount Astronomical Refracting Telescope for Kids Beginners - Portable Travel Telescope with Adjustable Tripod, Finder Scope, and Travel Case by Jeremy Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Follow instructions and easy to install and use

I ordered this for my daughter who is now 8 years old. Now I have used many telescopes (not Hubble but we can dream) and microscopes and things can get tricky and frankly difficult at times. Patience is required and try not to trip over anything. It was easy to set up, focus and view. Adjusting to the aperture takes time, and unless you are used to wearing glasses or using a microscope, you may feel dizzy. We live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains so we can use it during the day to see deer and flowers in the distance. At night we look at the moon and other planets are shown by my wife (she is 100 times better than me at astronomy). No, you cannot see specific rings on Saturn, but you can see Saturn as a point with a white stripe down the middle. In any case, I'm glad I ordered it because it will be the perfect first telescope for all future astronauts, space force personnel, space ball travelers and astronomers.
