Review on 🔭 Celestron - AstroMaster 70EQ Refractor Telescope: Perfect Choice for Beginner Stargazers - With Fully-Coated Glass Optics, Adjustable-Height Tripod, and BONUS Astronomy Software Package by Michael Paquette

Bought this for my kids. This is a quality telescope for beginners. We managed to get a good picture of Jupiter and its 4 largest moons. The waxing crescent looked beautiful. We also got a good picture of Venus. Saturn has not been tried yet, it is only visible early in the morning when we sleep. We'll try later this spring and I'll post an update. On the other hand, the star finder is difficult to use. The calibration between telescope and star finder doesn't seem to work and I don't know how to set it up. I found Jupiter and Venus using the altitude controls. The elevation was off 6 degrees, probably because the tripod was not quite level. It doesn't have a level bubble, so you'll have to stare at it to make sure the tripod is level. So a good deal for the price, but not perfect.
