Inexpensive, easy to assemble and ideal for beginners.

I ordered this telescope without reading the reviews first. I checked it out, read the specs and thought it would be a great deal. Considering the price, there was a lot going on with this telescope. It was extremely easy to assemble. You don't even need a manual (although I would use it anyway), everything goes without a hitch. I had it together and stargazing for an hour. It's easy to spot objects in the sky, easy to align, and see through them very clearly. The 3x Barlow lens that comes with

Pros
  • COMPACT AND PORTABLE: This shared telescope for adults and children is compact, lightweight and portable. Take the telescope to your favorite campsite, dark sky spot, or just in the backyard
Cons
  • Some bugs

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY! :)

Please read! It only takes a few minutes! Great telescope for beginners! If you're a pro, definitely don't buy unless you're looking for something to wear around town. But if you're a beginner looking to get into astronomy and have a budget of $100, this telescope might be for you. I'm only giving it four stars because some of the controls are hard to turn and the parts you need to turn are cheap plastic. Also, a thinner scope is crap. I haven't checked but I'm sure you can get stronger parts…

Pros
  • Travel the sky with our refractor telescope. It features a German equatorial mount with a slow-moving altitude bar for smooth and precise aiming. Position the stem in the desired position and then simply secure it by tightening the cross handle.
Cons
  • Long delivery

I am very happy with its price and it was enough for me to learn about astronomy and encourage me to save up for a quality telescope. If you are looking for your first telescope, this could be for you. If you already have the first; Save your money for the best step up. With a separately sold 5mm eyepiece I can see the bands of Jupiter and 4 moons as well as the rings of Saturn. I can see some other planets but not a…

  • The perfect telescope for beginners The Celestron PowerSeeker 70EQ is an easy to use and powerful telescope, the PowerSeeker series was developed to offer the perfect combination of quality and price for the novice telescope user. , Features and Performance
