Description

Designed with American innovation for beginner stargazers, the Celestron Travel Scope 70DX is a professionally engineered refractor telescope that is perfect for celestial or terrestrial viewing on the go. It’s the perfect telescope for adults and kids to use together with its fully-coated, high- quality glass optics, including a refractor-style 70mm objective lens. Added coating on the large 70mm lens allows more light to enter, providing sharper, crisper viewing of celestial and terrestrial objects during the day or at night. The Celestron telescope for beginners is designed with several operating features that make it exceptionally user-friendly. We’ve included two quality eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), 2x Barlow lens, and a star diagonal for crisp low- and high-power viewing during the day or night, allowing you to enjoy close-ups of wildlife in nature or stargaze. This telescope also comes with a smartphone adapter that allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller for digiscoping opportunities. To capture the best image, we provided a Bluetooth shutter release that allows you to trigger the camera’s shutter on any Android or iOS smartphone remotely, without disturbing the placement of your phone and telescope.

    • This little scope has revived my interest in astronomy
Style: Travel Scope 70 DX
I've had a 8" diameter dobsonian telescope for about 25 years but wanted a smaller scope I could take camping when I didn't feel like dragging the heavy, 4 foot long one with me. I also wanted one I could use as a spotting scope for birding. There are only two things I don't like about this scope. 1) tripod is way to wimpy. Even on a name brand heavier-duty tripod, it's less stable than a dobsonian. The tripod it comes with is barely adequate. It works best if placed on a sturdy table with the legs extended just far enough to make it less tippy. 2) There is some lense flare when looking at Mars, but this is to be expected for this price of scope. There is also some minor purple fringing around the edge of the moon, but the moon looks so gorgeous thru it that you forget to notice. Now for what I like: 1) Portability - doesn't kill my back to haul it outside. Sets up in minutes. So easy to take outside, I use it all the time. I'd only haul my big scope out a couple times a year because it was too heavy. 2) The moon looks so AWESOME thru this scope!!! 3) Jupiter: you can see several of the moons. I haven't been able to make out any of the color bands as I kinda can with my bigger scope, but that's to be expected due to the size/cost of this one. 3) Saturn: It's my favorite planet. Even though it looks tiny in this scope, you can see the rings and it's beautiful. I was able to see the nebula in Orion's sword from the city (I live on the outskirts of Salt Lake City) It was really beautiful on one especially dark night, but most nights it's not dark enough to see it well. I haven't been able to see other nebulas I've looked for. I expect that when I'm able to get away from the city lights I'll be able to see more nebulas and galaxies. (Nebulas and planets thru backyard telescopes don't look like most photos. You don't see the colors. Nebulas look like gray clouds. They can still be beautiful tho). The eyepieces feel cheap, very light weight, but are surprisingly good. Better than I expected for the price. They have enough eye relief that They work ok with my eyeglasses, but I prefer to take my glasses off when looking thru the scope. I haven't tried the digiscoping adapter yet, but I've experimented with a similar one on my other scope. Digiscoping is tricky and often not all you hope it'd be, but you might get some good photos of the moon. I haven't really tried it as a spotting scope yet, other than to look at some leaves at the top of a tree, and expect it'll be good for that. I'm considering buying a zoom eyepiece for that. All in all, I think this is an amazing scope for the price. Too bad the tripod isn't as good as the scope. If you can get a heavier tripod, you'll love this scope, especially if you can find some dark skies. But even from the city, the Moon, Saturn & Jupiter are so amazing thru this scope. ... show more

    • Great Telescope, recommended!
Style: Travel Scope 80
The telescope is great, easy to use, easy to set up and take down. Bring its own bag where you can store everything very neatly. Great for kids and beginners. Nothing complicated and very intuitive. A point to improve: The tripod. It is not the best, it is practical and small but very flimsy, it does its job but it is frustrating that after a while it becomes very difficult to adjust it so that it is in the place you need. ... show more

After several decades, I wanted to return to observing the night sky through telescopes. I didn't want to begin with an expensive telescope, so I went with a entry level item. Celestron is one of the most popular telescope makers in the world, so I thought I couldn't go wrong with a telescope from them, which is why I went with the Celestron 70mm Travel Scope DX. I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the diagonal, spotting scope, and tripod. After reading some of the reviews though, I was prepared for that. I ordered a replacement diagonal and tripod along with the telescope. I was more concerned with the quality of the scope. I was pleased with the scope itself. The best way to get started is by observing the easier objects. It allows a person to get used to searching the sky, finding the object you're looking for, and enjoying the view. What better subject to begin with than the moon. The above pictures are of the telescope where I was taking terrestrial photos using a SVBONY SV105 camera. The next was the first picture of the moon with the telescope with my Google Pixel and the smart phone adapter that came with the telescope. As you can see, it needs a lunar filter. Thankfully the telescope came with one. The third image is one taken of the moon with the same Google Pixel phone. This one I still didn't use the filter for, because the Google Pixel has the ability to adjust for the brightness of the moon. I just used my phone's photo ability. The final photo is of trees in the distance taken using the 70mm Travel Scope and the SVBONY SV105 camera. ... show more
