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.

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.

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,...

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.

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

Amazing telescope for the price

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.
