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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stability problems, otherwise large volume

My first telescope. Bought in a set with a clip for a mobile phone. Lots of room for the money. The picture I took doesn't match the actual naked eye pictures, the craters were so sharp. It is unrealistic to see such a moon with your own eyes. My ONLY issue I had was that it shook if you even looked at it the wrong way. I had to set a 10 second timer on my phone because as soon as I pressed the capture button it sent a shockwave through the scope that shook it really hard, but once the timer ran out it calmed down. So you need to aim for where the moon will be, not where it actually is. The photo was taken on the Galaxy S9+ in professional mode.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Doubts
