We’re very much beginner hobbyist astronomers in our house, and in my opinion this is a great beginner scope. From knowing very little about the assembly when unboxing, this scope took about 8 minutes to assemble following the super-clear step-by-step guide included with it. The photo’s do a good job of communicating clearly even to a novice, and the children took to putting it up and then down like ducks to water. I like the fact that it is a complete set and includes everything needed to get up and running. We had an easy time finding the moon. The construction looks fantastic from a distance, but when you handle it you can feel the flex from the plastic, but considering the low cost I still think this is reasonable balance and a good way for any beginners, like our little ones, to dip their toes into the hobby as an first scope without breaking the bank.
Took me a while to tackle setting this telescope up since I have never played with one before. It is good enough to take an impressively close look at the moon and my small helper was excited by what they could see. It comes with a filter for moon viewing.
Easy to set up and very good instructions.
It can be used to viewing terrestrial objects too.
Good
+ Passable quality given the price
+ Easy to assemble and the instructions are clear
+ Good clear images
+ Good phone holder
Not so good
– It is entry level and the alignment sometimes is a bit off as the plastic parts are not meant to be that advanced
Lovely little beginners telescope this but best for viewing larger objects like the moon. Finding stars or planets with this is possible but very difficult because finite adjustments are very difficult, you have to loosen the handle or grips around the tripod which moves the telescope too much to follow a star/planet. Viewing the moon is far easier. Start with largest Lense (Smallest magnification) to locate the object then switch lenses refocussing each time until you find what you require. The view is crystal clear and the holder for the phone to grab a snap is really good once setup properly. The kids love playing with this but do need help to set it up properly and use it.
I must admit that I’ve had no previous experience with telescopes, so am definitely not sufficiently technically experienced in the subject to comment on the specifications of this astronomy telescope from Nacatin but can certainly comment on the experience.
This has been one of those rare experiences as a parent you have whereby your little one becomes wide eyed and can’t stop talking about their new hobby in astronomy and you can’t help but get excited and joined in!
The telescope is well made – it’s honestly smaller than I expected it would be but feels and looks like it has very high build quality. The mounts, tripods and attachments are easy to assembly and disassemble and it’s incredibly easy to use.
I’ve only had the chance to try the mobile attachment briefly but our little one certainly seems impressed by it all and it seems like a very clever feature.
All in all, this has been a very good experience item and can certainly recommend it to any parents who’s little ones are showing an interest in astronomy.
Easy to set up and fun to use for kids or adults. Works well and you can see so much detail in the sky.
I got it for my nephew and he seems to like it .
Purchased for my 6yr old grandson and he is delighted with it. It works well and was well packaged. it is quite compact and a bit limited in magnification but that was evident from the specifications available at the time of purchase. Quality is reasonable and some nice features like a facility to mount a mobile phone to use as a camera along with a Bluetooth remote (you need to set up on your phone but that is easy). not 5 star rating as the tripod could be more robust which in turn affects stability which is key to a good image in a telescope. We fitted it to a more sturdy tripod purchased separately.
It’s a gift to someone. And is ideal for a house with a nice view
Great beginner kit at a really good price. I bought this for my kids, 12 and 7, but also for me too. With no experience we were able to get some reasonable photos of the moon on our first night, in a town, through a window which could do with a clean so we can’t wait to take it to the middle of nowhere and get some really good viewing and photos.
Easy to set up but still some finesse required to get it really dialed in but that experience will come with time.
Comes with a green “moon filter” which helps the camera to pick out the details on the moon.
This telescope was bought for my son’s 14th birthday as he started to show an interest in astronomy. It is a good quality and low cost telescope ideal for a beginner into the world of astronomy. As telescopes can be ridiculous prices I was not sure if it’s something he will like and use long term or try a few times and get bored, so naturally I did not want to shell out any large amounts, so this telescope was a great price and the best solution.
It’s a good looking kit, nice sized telescope, lightweight and comes with a stand and accessories. One of the best things is that it has a phone mount to attach your phone to and get pictures from the telescope onto your phone.
The tripod is good quality too and only takes a minute to setup and the whole kit is excellent value for money. Great for moongazing and my son loves his amazing gift – lovely product.
My daughter has a telescope! She loves it but finds it very very hard to locate the planets and the moon et cetera because the small people PEEP hole! This is amazing as you can link your phone to it and watch the pictures on your phone instead making it much more user friendly! Easy to put together and easy to use to

Excellent options for magnification. You can even combine two different types to get more accurate views. The view finder makes life much easier and being able to attach a phone means multiple people can use it at the same time and that the views can be saved and shared with friends online.
Bought for granddaughter birthday so not seen it put up yet but arrived day after ordered
The NACATIN 15-150x kids telescope is actually a great device for the money. Of course at this price point it isn’t going to be the most incredible telescope in the world, but it is a great device to see if your kid is really committed to exploring the stars before splashing out serious money on something on the higher end that could cost thousands. The telescope has a 70mm aperture and 15-150x magnification with a manual focus.
One of the things I really like about it is the phone mount. It allows you to mount your smart phone camera to look through the lens and capture images of what your looking at and this really does seem to pique kids interest. Not only can they seem the craters on the moon up close, but they can take pictures and show their friends.
It is more of a toy than a high end telescope but it’s great for letting the gets get a closer gaze at the stars and see if it’s something they are passionate about.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my 11 years old who requested this for long time. This telescope is well made, reasonable size, light weight. We have tried it on a clear night, my son loved seeing the moon up close by it. Even it says kids telescope, it is great for adult beginners too!

Good, light weight and easy to essemble, kids enjoy using it to get a closer look at the moon and stars would recommend it.
This is a good quality telescope for kids, arrived well packed.
Easy to assemble and light weight, kids can handle easily and can carry. Kids are happy and enjoying. Works as expected.
