    This will disappoint for anything more than moon viewing.
    The mount might be useful if you were contemplating ghetto astrophotography with a pixel or similar, as it can compensate for the earth’s rotation.

    • pigeond on 23/06/2021 - 07:02

      I think you are thinking of an EQ mount? which this telescope does not have and so it cannot compensate earth's rotation.

      • mskeggs on 23/06/2021 - 07:53

        Oops, yes, my error. I should have looked a little closer.

  • bisaya on 22/06/2021 - 19:49

    Anyone got this or something similar able to provide a review?

    This might be good for a young kid to look at the moon but not much else. Spend a bit more if your looking to get into astronomy or astrophotography.

    I know it's a lot more expensive than the listed telescope but if you want to observe the night sky with something decent you can't go past something like this. Great bang for buck.

      What can you typically see with something like this?

      • MeagerDollarBucks on 22/06/2021 - 20:04

        Saturns rings, Jupiter and the eye/Storm, Jupiters moons (only 4 of them with this size), Mars, Moon is very detailed on an 8" scope. Star clusters, nebula (not in colour), pinwheel galaxies etc.

        • ChickenDinner123 on 22/06/2021 - 20:06

          oh wow. I assume you will have to be in a dark sky area to see all of these?

            @ChickenDinner123: Planets are very bright so light pollution doesn’t really affect the view. But galaxies and other deep sky objects would be much better with darker skies for sure.

            @ChickenDinner123: Nebulae, clusters and galaxies require darker skies but the planets and the moon will be okay in most places

              @dreamstation: You can see closer nebula and galaxies in metro areas i.e. Orion, Plaedies, Andromeda galaxy, Southern pinwheel galaxy. They do get better the darker the sky but I can see them even in my binoculars.

                @MeagerDollarBucks: Yep this is true

                @MeagerDollarBucks: Andromeda for a small portion of the year, and it really doesn't break 30 degrees off the horizon in Sydney anyway…
                Lots of atmosphere to punch through.
                Carina is another nice target. Pretty bright. And massive.

              • w37hsyea on 24/06/2021 - 00:12

                @MeagerDollarBucks: What binoculars do you have - and are you inner or outer city to get a good view?

            @ChickenDinner123: The downside to these reflectors is the need to constantly collimate the mirrors. And if you're driving to dark sites to see the sky, expect to be doing that a lot.
            PITA. That's why I have refractors.

      anything similar but cheaper?

    • Franc-T on 22/06/2021 - 22:37

      I have one of these its decent (the sky watcher)

      NB you should be able to pick up a used one dead cheap

    This has been cheaper before, it was posted by a rep (and earlier on, a possible sockpuppet) for $74 delivered on both April and May but the deal was removed as the seller didn't meet our Amazon deal posting guidelines (Store feedback too low).

    You also don't need Prime to apply the $60 coupon, the coupon can be used by anyone.

      Yeah we bought back then - very dissapointed………….

  • beatsntoons on 22/06/2021 - 20:05

    it's actually not bad for the price
    70mm and f/5.7 should give a decently bright view with better resolution than many at f/10 at the cost of focal length.

  • anamul on 22/06/2021 - 20:12

    I got the Dobsonian style for $38 in April, which goes under $40 sometimes. It's got 76mm aperture and comes with 2 lenses. You may wait until that goes on sale again if you want buy something to watch the moon or guide a kid on how these things work. Link: https://www.amazon.com.au/Celestron-21024-FirstScope-Telesco…

      Looks awesome - whats comparable to that type of product at a lower price?

        I do not know. I am not very my knowledge on telescope is 1/10.

    This might be o.k. to view the moon, but pretty much useless for anything else. It's ridiculous to claim 'high quality optics' for this telescope, it likely comes with the lowest quality Kellner eyepiece you can get, which would make it pretty frustrating to try and view through. You would need to bin any eyepiece that came with it and replace them with a decent Plossl to have any fun with it at all… The 8 inch Dob suggested above would be a much better idea.
