Review: Brilliant little scope - 100% recommend. - "The best telescope is the one you use the most" so they say. I have searched the internet, read hundreds of articles, read magazines, toyed with the idea of getting a 'proper' telescope (such as the Celestron Astromaster 114 reflector or the refractor 70AZ) but had a moment of clarity: apart from the first few weeks, when am I REALLY likely to go to the effort of setting up a big scope? I mean they're really big and unless you keep it by the back door it means lugging it down stairs, plonking it in the yard and wrestling with the various knobs and bits to, finally, get a view of the moon or a nebula. Sure, they'll look good but to be honest, like my rice-cooker or the sandwich toaster it'll sit there gathering dust and eventually end up broken or in the loft... Now, I thought of binoculars but, I have some of those and they're 10x mag. They're fine if you like to see streaks of light as the stars zip about your vision like fireworks. Get a tripod? Well, for the money, big (I say big when actually the biggest are only 15x) binos are not all that great and like someone on already said desertcart saide you'll need to be Data from Star Trek if you plan on holding them - forget it. No really, forget it - bins are a big disappointment for the stars. Only German soldiers in my WW2 picture books and bird watchers have them. The Celestron travel scope is like one half of a MASSIVE pair of binos. From 20 to 40x mag they walk all over binos in terms of brightness and magnification. I have packed it in its little bag (very useful believe me) and carry it up the Malvern Hills. Try doing that with a reflector.. In the perfect 360 view up their I've seen the heavens explode into life. I can get it outside, set up and marvelling at the moon or a nebula in 2 mins. Gaze and Go. Every night I have a quick scan at the heavens then get back to putting bath sealant around taps or whatever grown-ups do at night. Great. Build quality is absolutely great. Sure, you have to be delicate with the controls and not heavy-handed but it's a telescope - what did you expect? If you're too rough to handle it then take up judo instead. I am careful with my lovely little scope and it opens up the skys for me and my little daughter every clear night. I can't believe how brilliant it is. My daughter saw a hot air balloon in the sky today - so small it was barely visible. In 45seconds we'd found it on the Travelscope and could count the occupants in the basket and watch the flames light up the red envelope - completely perfect. Maybe you could get a better stargazer... maybe you could get a better bird watcher... but could you get a lovely little instrument that could do both for 70 quid? (2 million US dollars)if I drop it and smash it I'll be sad but get onto desertcart and get another. It should be 160 quid (85 million dollars).. but don't let Celestron know they've mis-priced it! Want a cheap but perfectly useable scope for looking at the moon and birds and ships at sea? Want to use it every day? Are you not a Wall Street banker? Get this little beauty. If you really get hooked with astronomy then in a year get a reflector. You'll still only use the travel scope mind you! Hope my review gets you looking up and going "Wow!"
Review: the telescope not that I am an expert in such things but being a photographer I do understand light and lenses appears to be exc - Where do I start, this was bought a year ago for my 13yr old son who decided to take Gcse Astronomy, so this is a parents revirw with a little input from him. Its a lovely affordable kit and comes in one box, the telescope not that I am an expert in such things but being a photographer I do understand light and lenses appears to be excellent the eyepieces are good quality and similar to a camera with an added lens can be improved upon by buying set of more expensive ones but then this is for a child and they arefit for his pruposes. The bag is lovely as it means the whole kit is in one place and easily stored a massive plus point for anybody whose the parent of a teenager who sees his or her bed room as a massive skip with a door. Now for the negative in my eyes the tripod if you can afford it replace it, it is a really low end budget model and is not very stable and easily adjusted in my eye's, the good news is if you are the owner of one for photographic purposes they fit on this base perfectly. Overall I would say this was a perfect compromise between cost and quality. Having used it now a few times over the last year I think it is good value for money and a great starter kit if like me you have a young person taking up a new hobby and can't afford to purchase an all singing all dancing model. If you wish to use this for Astrophotography and have a Digital Slr all you need to purchase is a T-Mount ring for your brand of camera. There is a celestron adaptor eyepiece which we do have but you dont necesarilly need to purchase one as it has a t2 thread on the focusing barrel. my advice is if you can find one of these for about £60 buy it you won't be disappointed. I have also used it as a day telescope bird watching it is not ideal or looks the part when amongst "professional" bird watchers but does a reasonable job. Update we have just decided to up grade this product Sept 2015. Its good!! made sure I did not waste £500 pounds but after almost a year we are upgrading and its going to be a big hit. We have used it for astro photography but it needs a motorised mount to get better pictures hence the upgrade. With wildlife things are great and we've managed some decent bird pictures and lovely landscapes can be zoomed in on. I bought a barlow adaptor and t2 adaptor for my Nikon Digital SLR and it give a lovely picture but you do need to take the pictures in manual setting as all the gizmos on my D90, D80 and D50 bodies do not work due to no electrical connections. I have learnt a lot and my son has also last nights blood moon was lovely through the lens just ensure you have a moon filter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I can see lots in the specifications but I I can't see the dimensions of the actual scope. It looks very small in the last image.**
A: Hi, check on google and also watch videos on YouTube on actual model you are interested in. 
It’s how I selected my telescope. Good luck

**Q: Does it come with 2X Barlow lens as pictured?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is anybody would recommend that telescope for 5 years old, please? Looking for a good quality telescope for 5 years old boy.**
A: We’ve bought it for our 5 year old- it is definitely better than a children’s one especially with the phone attachment that makes it easier for children this age to actually use it. Our daughter hasn’t seen it yet as it is a Christmas present but we did try it ourselves and it is a decent telescope. The tripod is light si could easily be knocked over but it does come with a hook where you can hang something heavy to make it more stable. All in all we are pleased with it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great telescope !! a must buy !!
*by M***0 on 14 January 2013*

Well I have been wanting a telescope for a while,Im a total beginner. So I researched loads and liked this one due to it being compact, and easy to take out and about. I have a keen interest in Astronomy and wanted this for that reason. Many have pointed out flimsy tripod. I dont find tripod that bad. Good if your 5ft 1 like me, prob not so good if your tall. I find as long as your gentle then tripod not a problem. Another thing that made me get this, was the price and wow I would of paid more! It came today and I thought it was so easy to set up, great instructions. I could not believe my luck, clear skies just a few hours after I set it up. So off I went to the garden , what a great view of all those stars , I was like a kid! But what a cold night. So I decided to try in bedroom, as I saw it was a clear view of Cresent moon. So I set it up there. I was blown away with the view I got of the moon , all those craters and so clear too. It arrived real quick and came with a rucksack to put it in, and its so light but quality is so good! I cannot recommend this telescope enough, it is amazing for the price. All I need now is moon filters and a good x2 barlow lense. Just waiting for book (turn left at Orion )to arrive, then I will get hours of stargazing and planet searching out of this great scope . You must buy this ! :)
