Setting up of the telescope is slight tricky but after couple of attempts it was good to go. Adjusting the focal lenses in also on the trick part but the use of the manual and fidgeting, it all functioning. Nice piece of kit for kids and can be portable if wanting to travel.
Excellent begginger telescope. Perfect for children. My little one has recently become very interested in the moon so this is perfect for her to gain knowledge and interest. Nice and easy to use. Good quality. Well priced.
This is a telescope that has been produced with children in mind as the primary user.
It comes in a colourfully printed retail carton with photographic images of the contents.
Inside the box there are three more, snug fitting boxes, one with the telescope and a targeting spotter scope inside. one with a white coloured tripod and a small box with two different lenses and a cell phone, camera mount inside.
The instructions are an A4 page with full colour printing showing how to assemble and use the scope.
Assembly took only a few moments and was not too taxing!
The telescope has a pink body on it, I believe blue is also available!
First impressions are very good, the tripod is as good as you would hope to get if you spent as much as this whole set on just the tripod, it has a universal fitting so could easily, also be used for photography.
The images on the spotter scope are reversed, which isn’t an issue if you are looking to the heavens but might be if you are spying on your neighbours!
The telescope itself is a pleasant surprise, it is a lot better than the price or the fact it is aimed at children might imply!
It is easy to focus using the thumb wheels and a good clear image is the reward in the viewfinder.
The universal mobile phone mount included is a little clunky to fit and set up but you could be rewarded with some superb images if you go to the effort.
I would happily recommend this item if you have a child that has shown an interest in the sky at night, the cost is reasonable enough for it not to be a reason not to indulge them.
Happy to help!
This telescope seems overly complicated to set up; there’s so many parts to fit together, and the instructions are not very clear. That said, once done, it’s fairly straight-forward to dismantle and repeat.
The quality is generally pretty good, reasonable for what you’d expect for 30. However, there were marks and some debris within the view-finder on mine; not sure how or why, but those needed to be cleaned up before using this.
The zoom/magnification was respectable. Again, this is a beginner budget telescope so it’s not going to be amazing, but it’s better than what I was expecting. There is a definite zoom/magnification.
Overall, this is a greater starter telescope for budding astronomers.
Oh, and it’s pink! The product description and photos didn’t indicate what colour you’d get, possibly just pot luck, but ours was pink which wasn’t our first choice.
This telescope designed for those new to telescope exploration, especially children with an interest in astronomy and star gazing.
The telescope comes with an adjustable tripod, providing stability during observation sessions. The decent quality of the telescope makes it suitable for beginners, offering a taste of celestial wonders without breaking the bank.
While the telescope is not intended for professional use, it serves its purpose well for kids and beginners. The adjustable tripod is a valuable feature, allowing users to find comfortable viewing angles.
However, the assembling instructions proved to be a bit challenging. The instruction manual could be clearer, especially for those unfamiliar with telescope setup. A more user-friendly guide would greatly enhance the overall experience for beginners.
In conclusion, “Our First Telescope” is a good investment for families looking to nurture their children’s interest in astronomy and star gazing. While not designed for professional use, its decent quality and adjustable tripod make it an accessible and enjoyable tool for kids and beginners alike. A few improvements in the assembling instructions would undoubtedly enhance the overall satisfaction of users venturing into the world of telescope exploration for the first time.

I’ve never used a telescope before and there aren’t many parts to assemble but it did seem overly complicated to put it together and learn how to use it. The instructions weren’t clear to me and I was left trying to match the pieces to the picture on the box the telescope came in (the pictures in the instruction leaflet didn’t match what I had). There is a Finder Scope fixed on the side of the telescope, which I found a bit cramped to use as unfortunately the scope is fixed and not able to be moved. The telescope comes with some lenses that are helpfully marked so you can tell which one to use (eg ‘Moon’), and it’s easy to refocus smoothly using knob on the side. It seems to be reasonably good quality for the price but the assembly and usage instructions let it down. It all folds down so it’s easy to put away when not in use.
I absolutely love this 70/300mm Professional Astronomy Refractor Telescope with Adjustable Tripod & Finder Scope. It is perfect for Kids (Beginners) and Adults! It was easy to set up and is extremely durable too. Great value overall and I highly recommend it.
It is probably just me, but I found this more complex to put together than the manufacturer’s instructions might have it! But then, I have never even used a telescope so I am not familiar with any of the components or how to use one correctly. Some of the instructions are written in fairly small print – or perhaps that is just my age 😉 – but the print itself is bold and, with regards to the actual assembly of the telescope, there is a coloured illustration per step, which helped. What did not help is that one component was referred to as the ‘stargazer’ on one page and the ‘star finder’ on the next! For the technically-minded, the instructions also list the system details, e.g. ‘zenith mirror = 0.965 inch’ which means absolutely nothing to me, but which might be key for someone else 😉
Whilst I realise that this is a toy, when helping children to use the telescope adults will need to be aware not to over-tighten the wing nuts and various locking mechanisms. The tripod is quite lightweight but is fully height-adjustable.
Once assembled, I first tested the telescope by focussing on a subject through the window about 400 yards away – the image through the eyepiece was clear and perfectly adequate, especially for children’s viewing. I even handheld my mobile phone and took a photograph of the view via the eyepiece, which once again was acceptable. There is a dedicated mobile phone holder section which I have not yet attached, but which should achieve an even better image.
Thus far, there have not been any clear skies in my area to view the moon but when there is, there is another filter supplied which will need to be added to the standard filter for viewing across this greater distance. That will be very exciting!
For a child or a novice adult astronomer, this is a great ‘toy’ with which to see the skies above and may even encourage further interest in the hobby of stargazing/astronomy.
