This is a really nice telescope. Well made. Robust construction. Fits together easily. Easy to use. Comprehensive instructions. Looking at the sky is fascinating – this is exactly what our children should be doing with their spare time!
A lovely telescope for my daughter who has been obsessed with space at the moment. Unfortunately due to weather and late nights we haven’t been able to spot any planets or had clear skies Unfortunately. However it is rather well made with a excellent array of fittings for different magnification. Instructions could be clearer though as sometimes find double guessing myself however it does come clear (no pun indended) .The tripod is not to flimsy but holds the telescope rather well. The feet can be adjusted to many different heights to support array of ages.
A nice gift for children getting into space and perhaps people starting new hobbies.
My little one is really interested in telepascope due to a story book he read. So we have set it up in his room which was very easy. Haven’t made much use of it other than to look at the moon. There’s a moon filter which gives a better contrast and reduces strain on the eye.
Made from sturdy material and is easy to set up and use.
Me and the little one have enjoyed using it and will continue to.
This telescope is quite easy to set up if you follow the instructions. This was a refreshing change from some I’ve tried out in this price range where setup is a bit of a nightmare.
The tripod is reasonably stable, so the telescope stays put and you don’t lose track of what you’re viewing. It’s not too heavy, which is a plus point.
With a bit of practice, it is very easy to get a better view of the stars and the moon.
You can take a picture of what you’re looking at using your phone in the phone holder provided. This is a bit fiddly, but I liked the wireless remote key, which means you can take photos with your phone using it as shutter control.
I expected the telescope to be larger, but on reflection it’s a good thing it isn’t, as it’s easier to store.
A good way to stimulate kids’ interest in astronomy without a huge outlay.
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.
Great all-in-one beginner kit that works well for moon viewing.
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
Easy to set up and fun to use for kids or adults. Works well and you can see so much detail in the sky.
