Loved it 👌👌
Just go for it if u are looking for a in-budget telescope . The build quality is nice and the lens are very good. Affordable and great. This is my first time buying a telescope and I was very satisfied about it😁. My camera quality is not that good but if u see it directly from the lens , it will Blow your mind for sure. That's all🫡

I do not recommend even for beginners.
60 AZ is totally disappointed me. Even we does not see planet Venus clearly. Standing stability is very poor. It cant bear a Micro shock or touch by anyone.

Not for the impatient ones !
Let me give you the perfect review .,first of all i wasn't very convinced about buying this product at first due to all the bad reviews but then i read some guides on astronomy from small telescope etc.., which showed a number of objects to see from small scope and to me that was very convincing and i bought this. First of all the finder is really cheap and bad quality which makes star hopping impossible secondly clusters and other DSOs are very faint in it ..The tripod is steady enough but the real shakiness comes due the long tube like structure of the scope which makes it shake very much on slightest touch which in turn makes focusing and star hopping a near impossible task..Trust me if you have fairly clear skies and don't care about seeing the rings on Saturn or any other planetary details then 10x50 binoculars are way better start as they are 1000 times easier to handle and carry and u can still see tons of clusters and a few DSOs with it which is sure a way better start..When to buy this telescope:-1.This can be a perfect buy for someone just interested in seeing the craters on the moon or rings on saturn or jupiter with its four moons.2.Gift for a child to get him interested in astronomy3.Occasional viewers.When not to buy1. First of all this is absolutely not for the impatient people2. If someone is already interested in astronomy and is sure of pursuing the hobby.3. Living in light polluted area4. Want to see clusters or DSOs aka beyond the solar systemCONCLUSION-in a nutshell if u just want to get a telescope and have a jist of what astronomy is really like or want to get that spark ignited then it might be a choice as will show good views of the moon and moderate of planets but to someone who wants to spend some quality time and is very keen on taking up astronomy as a hobby for sure and is on a tight budget then 10x50 binoculars are way and way better choice (as long as there is no desire of planetary detials) and later you can buy a 5" reflector or possible a 6" dob telescope

Great one for beginners. I'm fully satisfied with the product.
Liked the stability. Worth for the price paid.

Shake a lot. Very unstable
Very difficult to use. The tube is plastic and the connector to the tripod is also very weak plastic. Because of this, this telescope shakes a lot. You cannot see anything

Great price and easy to use. Good product
This is a great telescope for a beginner. Without trying too hard I was able to see Jupiter and its moons(they appeared to be small dots) and the rings around Saturn. You will really get nice views of the moon that you just can't see with the naked eye. The best time to view the moon is when it is not full as the craters are more pronounced then. The telescope is incredibly easy to point as long as you have a reference point to begin with. I usually use a tree or high building then line an object in the sky based on the direction from the building or the tree.Stars appear as tiny dots but that is OK as stars are incredibily far away and this telescope is relatively cheap.It is very difficult for me to use the 4mm eye piece. The Barlow works but I don't really like how objects are displayed through it sometimes. The Barlow works best when viewing bright objects.Terrestrial objects are easy to locate and you can view objects that are many miles away. I never needed the finder scope much so I just took it off.My only problem with the telescope and the reason for 4 stars is that after locating an object and locking down all the bolts and screws, any slight touch of the telescope will cause the image to bounce around for a few seconds. This makes viewing difficult with small children.But all in all I highly recommend this telescope for beginners and casual astronomers such as myelf and my 5 year old daughter.

The worst telescope ever!
We cant even see the moon very clearly. Finderscope is showing moon but if we see in the telescope we can even see it. If we get the moon its looking too bright .By using this telescope itself i recommend watching in bear eyes. Not at all satisfied.Not at all gor begginers. Another problem in the application, the have put connect and align when we click scope.But the problem is that this telescope isnt even wi-fi telescope.Please do not produce these type of telescopes.Thanks

Sorprendido por la calidad a pesar del precio, suficiente para lo que busco.
Tenia mis dudas sobre si este telescopio llenaría mis expectativas, ya que solo lo quiero para observación y una que otra foto, nada profesional, y a pesar del precio $2,200 pesos MXN se alcanza a ver con un detalle muy bueno la Luna, todos los lentes funcionan perfecto, pero el Barlow x3 + 4mm casi no sirve de nada, solo para ver la luna con lujo de detalle, nada impresionante, pero solo para eso funciono.OJO: el lente Barlow x3 funciona muy bien, pero se tiene que colocar antes de colocar el lente de 90°, posteriormente se pone el lente de 20mm y a disfrutar, a quienes no les funciona es porque ponen el lente Barlow después del lente de 90°.adjunto algunas fotos de lo que vi, y estas no tienen toda la calidad que se alcanza a ver directamente con el telescopio, ver Saturno y sus anillos es un espectáculo, y si se quiere ver a Júpiter y sus franjas naranjas también se puede pero necesitaras una buena visión y mucha paciencia,en conclusión: vale cada centavo y es funcional para los que solo quieren observar, sin nada profesional.

Jupiter, Saturn & Co. direkt vom Balkon
Den PowerSeeker 70AZ habe ich hier für rund 80 Euro erstanden. Für den Preis bin ich damit sehr zufrieden. Mein Hauptanliegen ist, Planeten, Mond und Sterne mal mit eigenen Augen näher anzusehen. Und da wurde ich nicht enttäuscht. Voraussetzung ist aber, dass man bei einem Einsteiger-Teleskop nicht zu viel erwartet. Denn die Objekte sind auch bei 175-facher Vergößerung (4-mm-Okular) noch relativ klein. Außerdem ist der Kontrast dann ziemlich schwach und die Schärfe nicht immer leicht zu bekommen.Beim Jupiter lässt sich grob die Wolkenstruktur erkennen, vor allem die beiden Haupt-Bänder. Viel mehr Feinheiten allerdings nicht. Die vier großen Monde sind sehr gut sichtbar. Saturn ist ebenfalls sehr schön zu sehen. Die Ringe sind allerdings nicht differenziert. Auch den Saturn-Mond Titan konnte ich erkennen. Andere Planeten stehen zurzeit ungünstig, die konnte ich noch nicht probieren.Die angehängten Fotos sind mit einem Mittelklasse-Handy gemacht, das ich (ohne Halterung, aber mit sehr viel Geduld!) einfach ans Okular gehalten habe. Mit dem Auge sieht das Bild demnach etwas klarer und schärfer aus. Meine Beobachtungen mache ich von einem Großstadt-Balkon aus. Bei Land-Himmel sind die Ergebnisse sicher noch besser.Das Celestron kommt mit wenigem, aber sehr sinnvollem Zubehör und war aufwendig und sicher verpackt. Zwei Okulare, Zenithspiegel, Barlowlinse, Aufbauanleitung, eine kleine Astronomie-Einführung und eine CD mit guter deutschsprachiger Anleitung. Außerdem natürlich Teleskop, Sucherfernrohr und Stativ.Ich komme mit dem Stativ gut klar. Nachführen ist kein Problem. Wenn man das Teleskop ausschwingen lässt, ist das Bild auch sehr ruhig. Nervend ist nur die Höhenverstellung der Beine, die lasse ich nach Möglichkeit in Ruhe.HINWEIS: Falls Sie die Nützlichkeit dieser Rezension bewerten wollen, wäre es nett, sie nicht daran zu messen, ob sie Ihrer eigenen Meinung und Erfahrung entspricht, sondern ob sie nützliche Informationen für Kunden generell beinhaltet. Vielen Dank.

An Impressive Beginner Telescope
This is an impressive beginner telescope that is a very reasonable price.The telescope is very light and easy to assemble, a decent amount of accessories are included - 3 eyepieces and 2 viewing attachment tubes (Erecting eyepiece and 3x Barlow tube).I've only had the opportunity to use the telescope for its intended moon viewing a handful of times in the months I've had it due to clouds 🙄 thanks, UK... But on the Times I've used it I've been blown away by the details I can see on the moon and for the odd bird viewing from my bedroom when they're on the neighbour's chimney.I've also bought a generic phone adapter for the scope which has allowed me to get some half decent pictures which was just under £5 on eBay. It works great despite making my telescope sag under the extra weight but I adjust the legs to compensate for the rise in the telescope which isn't too difficult and fairly stable.The downside I have found to the cheap scope is that when there's extra weight with my phone adapter or wind, it can wobble a fair bit, not the tripod but the part that connects the scope to the tripod isn't as sturdy as you'd hope. This wobble is also noticeable when using the higher zoom eyepieces as even the slightest breeze with have the view subject bouncing all over the place.With all of that being said, on the days without wind and clouds you'll definitely be impressed with the price and the image quality you get with this refractor scope 👌🏻

Lo recomiendo para planetas
Gratamente sorprendido.Me lo compré tras observar con el telescopio semi profesional de mi vecino los planetas pero él me recomendó coger uno básico ya que me dijo que aunque me gastase 300-400€ más no notaría apenas diferencia y para ver una diferencia de detalle tenía que ir a gastarme bastante más de 1000€. Parece que o te vas a uno básico o te vas a uno bueno pero todo lo demás es medio tirar el dinero.Comparando las vistas de uno y otro no hay diferencia tan grande que compense la del precio. Recomiendo este para principiantes.Se ve Júpiter, sus 4 lunas y se distinguen las franjas centrales de manera tenue, se ve Saturno y sus anillos bastante bien diferenciándose perfectamente la bola del planeta del conjunto de anillos (sin llegar a diferenciar división de Cassini, claro, pero eso con el del vecino tampoco). Se ve la luna completa y sus cráteres con el de 20mm y con más detalle por zonas ampliadas con el de 4mm. Marte se ve como una bola roja pero sin nitidez perfecta ni ver detalles de superficie (pero con el semiprofesional de mi vecino tampoco se ve más). Podéis ver las pleyades perfectamente y la constelación de Andrómeda se ve pero como una masa difuminada.Los oculares que vienen parecen básicos pero se ve guay. El de 20mm para constelaciones, planetas y luna completa, y el de 4mm para detalles de la luna y ver Júpiter y Saturno algo más grandes (Eso sí, más difíciles de localizar).El barlowx3 para mí es una mierda. Imposible enfocar nada en cielo y solamente he conseguido enfocar en tierra objetos cercanos (10-20 metros). Combinado con el de 20mm debería hacer el efecto en cielo de ocular de 6,7mm y no lo hace. Creo que es un barlow muy muy malo.El trípode más estable de lo que esperaba por los comentarios. Si no rozas el ocular o no hay mucho viento se mantiene estable. Si le pones una piedra o peso en la bandeja aún mejor. El de mi vecino también se mueve si rozas el ocular con el ojo y el suyo es una equatorial bastante decente. Por tanto montura azumutal ok.Un fallo que veo es que lleve un ocular de 4mm que da 175 ampliaciones cuando el máximo del telescopio según su apertura es de 140 ampliaciones y se supone que superarlas produce pérdida de nitidez. Debería llevar uno de 5mm o de 6mm. Yo acabo de comprarme uno de 6mm tras probar los de 6 y 9 de mi vecino.También me he comprado filtros, que tras probar los de mi vecino se ve Júpiter o Saturno algo mejor. Muy bien el filtro azul y el que mejor de todos para planetas es el verde n°56.No esperéis ver las imágenes del Hubble, la visión de cualquier telescopio de aficionado es básica. Buscad vídeos para ver como de ven las cosas a estos niveles y así no os llevaréis desilusiones. Hay que tener claro hasta donde llega cualquier telescopio de aficionado.No pongo fotos porque es casi imposible centrar el móvil con el ocular sin accesorios y no he conseguido hacerla. He comprado un accesorio, a ver qué tal cuando me llegue. Si funciona añadiré las fotos.Dicho esto, recomendadísimo para principiantes.

Not great
I bought this celestron telescope for my best friends daughter as she loves sky gazing,the two less powerful lenses were ok but not the most powerful,it was just a blur as was the barlow lense,it was just a blur too,i have two telescopes already so i know what is good or not,shame im having to return it for something different
