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.

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.

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...

The stand is very flimsy and the scope well go out of line if you tech it

I can not see what you booklet shows I should see though the scope

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,...

Compact; Quality Lenses

Plastic parts; Poor quality tripod; Unstable

My husband and I do a lot of traveling. This will be GREAT to take along with us. I can't wait to go on our next trip. Now that we have this we will have to go back to Yellowstone.

I carried this scope with its tripod in my hiking backpack all the way down into the Grand Canyon to Phantom Ranch and out again(North Rim to South Rim). This little scope performed very well, and stood up to the rigors of the trip very well.

Compact; Easy to Use; Lightweight; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction

Great Product  from Littleton, CO–  This is a great little telscope for the money. The tripod eexpands to full height so you can use it on a table or the floor. The carrying bag is sturdy and versatlle.

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.

I was searching for an inexpensive, easy to use telescope to indulge my fascination with the skies. Celestron Travel Scope has so far lived up to my expectations. It is a little hard to tighten the knobs locking it in place without altering it's position, but otherwise is easy to use.

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.
