Celestron 70mm Travel Scope Review
I have an Orion XT6 Classic that I enjoy a lot, along with a modest eyepiece collection. One of those eyepieces is a 40mm Plossl for viewing wide expanses of sky at low power. Seeing the double cluster in Perseus or the Pleiades within the eyepiece is breathtaking.

It is not very good for a beginner
Your booklet says that I should be able to see Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, well I have tried but all I'm abe to see is some Brit stars. The stand for the scope is very flimsy and the handle to adjust the vertical and horizontal are very hard to adjust, every time I try to ajust it, it takes it out of...
Pros:
- The stand is very flimsy and the scope well go out of line if you tech it
Cons:
- I can not see what you booklet shows I should see though the scope

Excellent Product with Average Accesories
I recently purchased this telescope. The product is definitely of better than average quality considering its aperture and focal length but the provided accessories like tripod and prism are not of good quality.

Less than expected
The lenses are good for this telescope, but everthing else...the plastic housing and especially the tripod are very cheap and flimsy. Trying to moderately tighten one aligning screw on the finder scope resulted in stripping the thread, so now it can't be truly aligned at all.

Celestron Travel Scope 70 Rocks
The scope appears larger than the one shown in the pictures. Build quality is good but the focuser is plastic, to keep the cost low.Optics wise, Celestron never fails. A quick view at the pleiades shows pinpoint stars, more faint stars, even better than my barska 70mm bino.Turning towards the north,...
Pros:
- Compact
- Quality Lenses
Cons:
- Plastic parts
- Poor quality tripod
- Unstable

The power seeker series is designed to give the first-time telescope user the perfect combination of quality, value, features and power. It features fully coated glass optics with high transmission coatings for enhanced image brightness, contrast and clarity.

Good Quality
The Terrestrial viewing is good and astronomical viewing and focusing is hard except for moon. Need practice to use it better for astronomy view. The CD provided is good in guiding for night viewing The Tripod and the carry back pack bag is good.

Good for terrestrial viewing. Excellent return for the price you pay. Tripod of course is a little shaky but then it is meant to fit in your backpack. Overall, it is a good product for casual veiwing.

Lousy tripod with descent optics
This will be two reviews in one. I bought this as a super budget astro-imaging scope to be piggyback mounted on a Celestron 8 and Advanced VX equatorial mount. I image with a Meade Deep Sky Imager and use Travel Scope 70 (TS70) to image wide field nebulae and star clusters.
