🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

This telescope has received largely positive reviews with customers praising it for its excellent build quality, impressive optics, and ease of setup. It is particularly appreciated by beginners and amateur astronomers for its value-for-money and user-friendly design. However, some users have noted that it might not be ideal for viewing certain celestial objects in detail due to a smaller aperture size and that the stand could be more ergonomic.

Pros

  • 🔭 Excellent build quality and sturdy construction
  • 🌌 Clear and vibrant images of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects
  • 🛠️ Easy to assemble with clear instructions
  • 🏞️ Good for amateur astronomers and stargazing enthusiasts
  • 📱 Includes a smartphone adapter for taking photos

Cons

  • 🔬 Has a smaller aperture size, which may limit the level of detail
  • 🚸 Stand is shorter than optimal, causing discomfort during long observing sessions
  • ⏳ More time spent hunting for objects than viewing them
  • ℹ️ May not be suitable for viewing certain celestial objects in detail

Should I Buy It?

This telescope seems well-suited for beginners and novice users, owing to its ease of set-up, clarity of images, and additional features like a smartphone adapter. However, if you are more experienced or wish to observe celestial bodies in more detail, you might want to explore options with a larger aperture size and a more ergonomic design.

    • Aperture matters more than magnification
Color: AZ70400
I bought this knowing nothing about telescopes and not knowing what I could expect to see through this thing. Now I know more, I think this is a decent value, but it comes with A LOT of cons. In telescopes, the aperture size matters much more than magnification. The bigger the aperture, the better the image will be. This is a 70mm aperture (2.75 inches), which is about as small as you can get. It's typical for an "entry-level" telescope, and a decent value for the money if you want to get into stargazing without dropping 500 bucks or more on a bigger scope. However, if I could do it over again, I would've spent more and gone with a better one. First, as with all beginner telescopes, it is actually much harder to use than a more intermediate level one. This is something well-known in the amateur astronomy group I've joined, and they never, EVER recommend buying a beginner telescope, ESPECIALLY for kids. Because most kids like looking AT stuff more than looking FOR it. And with this telescope, far more time is spent hunting for objects than actually looking at them. My kid doesn't have the patience or attention span for that, but I rather enjoy the challenge, so I do it. Which brings me to the next problem. This is made for kids. As such, the stand is very short. Which means that all the time you spend hunting for things, you'll having to be hunched over, crouched down, or kneeling on the ground. And if you live in a place with a lot of light pollution, you won't be able to see much more than stars, the Moon, or the brightest planets. Even Mars is difficult to see through this telescope, and you can't make out any detail whatsoever on the surface. You can make out SOME faint detail on Jupiter, especially if you go away from light pollution on a clear, moonless night. And you can just make out Saturn's rings. Venus, on the other hand, is very easy to see. Especially now, near the end of April 2020, it is the brightest it'll be all year, so we've been looking at it every night. It's too bright, even at its dimmest, to make out any detail, but you can see what phase it's in. Galaxies, most nebulas, and many star clusters are beyond the ability of this telescope, but that being said, I was able to see a planetary nebula called The Ghost of Jupiter last night. For perspective, I've had a few weeks of use and practice, and feel comfortable with the telescope, and have a number of apps, charts, and star maps to help me find things, and it STILL took over an hour for me to finally find it, put it close enough to the center of my field of view to use with max magnification, and put it in focus. And even then, it looked like a hazy, bluish star. We couldn't make out any detail or the distinctive eye-shape that can be seen with even slightly larger scopes. Still, it was cool and the kid loved it. I consider it worth the effort, but my back is killing me today. Don't get me wrong, for an entry-level telescope, this is good. It'll serve our needs while we save up for an upgrade. But, like all entry-level telescopes, this is harder to use and not powerful enough to see much. All the time required to hunt for things, for what many may consider a disappointing result, could potentially end up killing a kid's enthusiasm. If you absolutely MUST get an entry-level telescope, this is a good choice. But if at all possible, save up and get a larger aperture. ... show more

Gskyer Telescope Review: A Perfect Starter Scope for Astronomy Enthusiasts The Gskyer Telescope (70mm Aperture, 400mm AZ Mount) is an excellent choice for beginners and hobbyists who want to explore the night sky. Here's a detailed review based on my experience: Installation and Portability Setting up the telescope was surprisingly easy—it took me just about 5 minutes to assemble all the pieces. The lightweight design and moderate material quality make it easy to handle, even for someone new to telescopes. Plus, it comes with a durable carrying bag, which adds to its portability and convenience for stargazing trips. Optical Performance With its 70mm aperture and 400mm focal length, this refracting telescope offers decent magnification for observing celestial objects. The moon’s craters are clearly visible, and the level of detail is impressive for an entry-level telescope. It’s truly a thrilling experience to see the moon’s surface up close—it feels like you’re almost there! The telescope provides sufficient clarity for viewing other objects such as Jupiter's moons or Saturn’s rings, although you might need additional lenses or filters to enhance the experience. Build Quality The materials are not premium but are adequate for its price range. The build feels sturdy enough for regular use, yet light enough to make it easy to transport. The adjustable tripod provides stability but might wobble slightly when extended to full height. Ease of Use The AZ (Altazimuth) mount is simple and intuitive, making it easy to track celestial objects across the sky. For beginners, this is a big plus, as you won’t have to wrestle with complex setups or alignment processes. Value for Money This telescope strikes a great balance between affordability and functionality. It’s perfect for casual observation and an excellent stepping stone into the world of astronomy. Pros Quick and easy assembly (5 minutes or less). Lightweight and portable, with a convenient carrying bag. Clear and detailed views of the moon and nearby planets. Beginner-friendly AZ mount for easy navigation. Cons Materials are moderate in quality but sufficient for beginners. Tripod stability could be improved. Limited magnification without additional lenses or accessories. ... show more

I bought for my 3 year old And she won’t be able to use it until she gets older. It’s hard to focus on anything during the day time. So at night it’s almost impossible to see. Easy to put together. Easy to move around. Very disappointed about not being able to see. U have to stand very still and hold ur eye almost an inch away from scope.
