Review on Discover the Celestron 31036 AstroMaster LT 76AZ: Awe-Inspiring Views and Stellar Gazing with this Blue Astronomical Telescope by Dakota Afzalian

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great telescope for beginners - a tripod is sufficient.

I really liked this telescope with a few modifications I made. A tripod is difficult to use when viewing planets. I've owned this scope since June 2017. I mounted the scope on a tripod bought used from another location, with a counterweight and better setup. I also replaced the corrective sight with an adjustable green laser pointer made for the pistol. This setting makes aiming much easier. Saturn can be seen with this telescope. The photo was taken with my cell phone with an adapter. The picture looks better with the naked eye. This is a good entry-level scope without having to spend a lot of money.

Pros
  • Quick release dovetail mount - no tools required
Cons
  • Not sure
