The Celestron brand is a well-respected manufacturer in amateur astronomy circles, and while this product may not be on a par with their more expensive instruments it might suit a beginner. The optics are great, I've seen Jupiter's moons with no problem at all. The portability is a great feature, and the whole setup can be packed away in the rucksack provided to take hiking etc. The weak link in the chain is the tripod which is decidedly flimsy, but it has standard camera fixings so could be replaced with any decent compact camera tripod (I suggest you do so - you might even get one that will also fit in the rucksack).Pros:* compact size due to high focal ratio* stunning optics for the price

I wanted a reasonable quality item but not too costly as was for my young daughter. It is easy to assemble and I haven't bothered with the spotting scope. That seemed a bit fiddly to set up and I am not sure how safe/solid it would be if left on in the carrying case. That probably applies to any portable telescope. I thought I would have problems with light pollution but it doesn't seem to affect things much. You can certainly see a great deal more than with the naked eye. I am pleased with it.

Bought this for our grandsons 12th birthday and he loves it. We put it together before we gave it to him. The instructions could have been clearer but we managed to do it. He lives in the country so has good views from his window. He can see horses in a field miles away. He hasn’t managed to look at the stars yet because he is asleep before it’s dark so this is something for him to look forward to when winter comes. We are glad we bought it.

The scope itself is surprisingly good for the money, the tripod is not much use unless it's not extended and sat on a table, then it does ok but still easy to wobble with your face while looking through the scope.I would recommend upgrading the tripod and look at purchasing a 90 degree star diagonal if you want this for astronomy, but I have had some fantastic views of the moon as it comes out of the box!

Bought this recently as a starter to astronomy. Easy to put together and setup. Comes with a rucksack for carrying. So far looked at Venus and some constellations when nights are clear. Seen plenty of satellites as well. Good for a beginner and I will be looking into more powerful magnifying lenses if possible to get more detail. Good bit of kit to start off with.

The price is competitive, the product arrived quickly, click and collect was very straight forward. My husband was very pleased with the telescope and how light in weight it is. A plus is the carry backpack. The magnification is just right for his needs and the image is adjustable. I predict many happy hours of star gazing.

Bought as a gift and my hubby loved it, was a replacement for a broken one and this new one is much better. All the features of a static telescope but with the great feature of being able to transport easily in the little back back, also great to store. Both very happy

I bought this instead of buying a new lens for my camera. I wanted to take a reasonable photo of the moon. ( I had to buy the T ring and adapter separate) . The photos have turned out surprisingly good. its a great little telescope and very lightweight.

Really simple to assemble and use. Great for travel. Decent optics. The only issue is the mount which is light so the image is shaky. This was expected with the price. If you have a sturdier mount, you can use the scope with no issues.

Very nice piece of kit, easy to set up and use, and at a good price, if you want a decent telescope that is flexible ie take on holiday, look at the heavens, or check out the wildlife, then you wont be sorry if you buy this scope .

It does shake a bit for star gazing, and a little less than weatherproof for birdwatching. But this is a great portable hybrid for mixed use if you're on the move. Easy to setup and use. Would recommend this to others...

Well worth the price, already had a few excellent nights gazing up to the stars. Excellent scope for a novice, young or more mature. Definitely no looking back at my new hobby.

We are very pleased with the telescope. It is light and very easy to assemble. Great to view Venus and the moon with good clarity. Represents good value for money.

Great lenses and outstanding quality for the price! Convenient and an excellent choice both for a first telescope and for those who are of medium skill.
