This review is for the Telescope for Astronomy, DMOPRDNB 70/300mm Professional Astronomy Refractor Telescope.
This arrives in a nice colourful box and all contents are securely packed.
I believe this is a reasonable price considering the contents.
The telescope fixes to a tripod and enables this to be placed on the floor near a window or on a table.
Ideally this is for children.as I would say the telescope is not of a powerful focus.
But this will enable children to learn of the stars and planets
Very easy to assemble.and dissemble for storagelightweight
Overallvery well made.securely packed.great for educational purposes
Good fun for the kids and a nice little toy for star gazing.
My kids have been glued to this thing every night for the past week or so and they have started reading books on astronomy as a result of having it, which is just wonderful for me to see.
The telescope itself is very much a kids toy and not really for anyone serious about looking at the stars, but it does give a good starting point for anyone with young ones who have a passing interest in the cosmos.
Made predominantly of plastic it does feel a bit on the cheap side, but that’s in keeping with he price point. Several different lenses are included and set-up is a piece of cake. The tripod us very useful and feels sturdy.
For me this would be the first time using a telescope and I can say I am not incredibly impressed and from my experience it does a similar job to an old-fashioned pair of binoculars however as this is more targeted at kids and novices I can confirm that it had a big impact on my little one as he was incredibly excited to have it assembled together but also to use it, so it was a great father and son bonding moment.
The image it’s pretty clear during the day and I was able to visualize clear images from long distances however during the night I couldn’t see much and it is easy to lose track of an object you are trying to focus on and I would manage to get a focus on something and it did require quite a bit of concentration to be able to get a clear image, both from manoeuvring it but also from standing still.
I like the tripod a lot, it was sturdy and with good height adjustment creating a stable base for the telescope which was needed as I had to move left and right a lot in order to find my bearings and try and focus on something.
I could not see a use for the finder scope as I could not manage to see anything through it.
The tripod can also be used I believe for cameras or other devices which need a stable base.
Overall it was a good experience for both me and my son and even if at sometimes we grew frustrated about not being able to see any aliens on the stars far away, it gave us the opportunity to try new things together and create memories which are simply unevaluable.
For the price and what can give it’s pretty impressive!it’s sturdy and reliable on how is been made and perfect for beginners to explore the sky!
The lens are great you can see clear and provides eye protection too!
The tripod it’s adjustable and easy to accommodate to it!
Great value of money and happy to recommend for the price and quality it’s a great deal for sure !
First, let’s start with the positives about this little telescope. It is very easy to put together, no need to refer to the instructions. The tripod is nicely made and would be useful also as a camera mount. It is essentially a camera tripod and works in the same way. And the image quality, given the price point is not bad at all.
On the downside. The construction of the telescope is not that robust. It does feel like an aluminium tube with a lens attached, which of course, is exactly what it is. The focus knobs are quite stiff which makes fine focusing not that easy. And the focus tube is covered in silicon grease which means when you touch it to keep the telescope steady whilst focusing you get it all over your hands. You are not supposed to touch it of course but you do find yourself automatically doing so in any case.
The spotter scope which attaches to the side of the telescope has not been of much use. It reverses the image which when looking at land-based objects is a problem, not so much when looking at the moon and stars but I also found that it was not even close to lining up with the image through the telescope. Rendering it is pretty much a cosmetic rather than a useful addition.
In terms of looking at the night sky, it is acceptable. You definitely won’t be seeing anything like the images shown in the listing but as a way of getting your kids interested in astronomy, it does the job. Although I think you will want to upgrade very quickly!
The instructions could do with a rewrite, preferably by someone who speaks English as their first language. Also, the scope shown in the instructions is different to the one sold. Especially the eyepiece.
So, all in all, given the price point it is not bad. But you have to keep your expectations low. This is not a professional-quality telescope.
Pros:
I’m excited about this telescope as it’s an excellent choice for cultivating a shared interest in astronomy among my son and daughters. Its user-friendly features cater to their varying ages, making it an inclusive instrument for the whole family.
The telescope’s design, adorned with the lovely pastel blue and white colours, creates a visually inviting and engaging experience for my children. I appreciate that it appeals to all of them, ensuring everyone can join in on our stargazing adventures.
Having the telescope for all my kids to share enhances its educational value. It’s an opportunity for collaborative learning, encouraging teamwork and a joint exploration of the captivating wonders of the night sky.
The adjustable tripod is a practical feature that accommodates the varying heights and preferences of my son and daughters. It ensures that each child can comfortably participate in observing celestial objects, making it accessible for the whole family.
Stargazing with the telescope has become a delightful family activity. It creates lasting memories and strengthens the bond among my kids as we share the excitement of exploring the cosmos together under the enchanting hues of pastel blue and white.
Cons:
While the telescope’s smaller aperture might limit detailed observations, I understand that it’s well-suited for beginners and serves as a reasonable compromise for shared use among my kids with varying levels of experience.
The magnification range, though on the lower side for advanced users, aligns well with the telescope’s purpose as a family-friendly and introductory instrument for my son and daughters.
Verdict:
This telescope, with its inclusive design and delightful pastel blue and white colours, is a perfect fit for our family. Its user-friendly features and educational value make it an ideal tool for introducing my children to the wonders of stargazing. As a family, we look forward to countless nights of exploration and bonding, fostering a shared love for astronomy and creating cherished memories together. Here’s to many more celestial adventures with my kids!
