BuyOnPcBuyOnPc: The media could not be loaded.  Premetto che questo è il mio primo telescopio ,quindi la mia sarà una recensione di esperienza da neofita.
Nella confezione tutto l'occorrente per l'utilizzo , viene fornito di zaino e cavalletto per essere subito pronti alle uscite fuoriporta.
Dunque ,lo zaino è ben fatto poichè dotato di diversi scomparti ,il treppiede invece ,facile da utilizzare ma davvero poco stabile ,non ha una movimento "fluido" ma ,soprattutto orizzontalmente si muove a scatti e non è neanche troppo comodo perchè basso.
Il telescopio si monta in pochi minuti ed ha una visuale ottima sia nella modalità terrestre che astronomica.
Dotato di 3 lenti rispettivamente di 20mm ,10 mm,4 mm che renderanno il campo visivo più o meno luminoso e più o meno ampio .
Lo zoom è interessante abbiamo con lente :
-20 mm zoom 20X
-10 mm zoom 40X
-4 mm zoom 100X
Che andremo a...

Rob: Goede telescoop voor dit bedrag. Jammer dat de finderscope vrijwel nutteloos is.

RWB: I have 40 years’ experience with telescopes and hope I can help. First, the 50mm is a great first scope. This is designed as a travel scope and so is small (12 inches long) and light. The tube and screws are the only metals pieces, which helps with the portability and backpack use. The tripod included with the 50mm is adequate for most sitting uses but it is not tall for standing or sturdy at high powers. For example using the 3x barlow and the high power eyepiece it would be difficult to have a stable view. In that case a stronger tripod (at the cost of some portability) would be best. A standard camera tripod could be used with better results.

The 1.25 eyepieces included with the 50mm are fair but not the best for people with glasses because you have to hold your eye close to the eyepiece. There are better eyepieces with better eye relief if you plan to stay with the hobby or if you are over 50. I would not recommend replacing the eyepieces for the smaller scopes for two reasons, (1) more expensive eyepieces will add more weight to your setup and (2) if you don’t need the portability a larger scope may come with better eyepieces. Many scopes come...

Chiara: Premetto che sono un'astrofila e possiedo molti telescopi di una certa qualità (e di un certo costo!). Questo telescopio è stato acquistato come regalo per una bimba di 5 anni e come tale deve essere considerato. Lo strumento è quasi tutto in plastica, ma di buona qualità costruttiva. La lente principale è un doppietto acromatico ed è una piacevole sorpresa, in quanto in uno strumento così piccolo facilmente si trova lente singola. Il focheggiatore in plastica ha un portaoculari da 24,5 mm, abbastanza scorrevole e stabile. Il piccolo cercatore 2x20, è quasi inutile su uno strumento di focale così corta, ma adatto all'uso didattico per un bambino. Sono forniti due oculari schema H (Huygens, schema ottico semplice ed economico) con barilotto in plastica e ghiera finale in metallo. Nel mio esemplare mancava uno dei due oculari, ma ho trovato buona assistenza per rimediare al problema. Sono presenti anche un diagonale a prisma a 45 °, una lente di Barlow 3x con corpo in plastica e un adattatore per inseirire gli accessori da 31,8 mm nel portaoculari da 24, 5mm, in quanto tutti gli accessori sono da 31,8 mm (un aspetto positivo, quando insolito, di solito su...

angel: I bought this for my daughter to view Mars and she really enjoyed it! It was really great quality for a starter. The tripod was as others rated it in my opinion, that it could have been better. The only thing I wish the barlow magnifier was a bit better it was not as clear as we hoped when compared to another scope we used to view the planets but over all great for a starter.

Artsy: First off, I would like to say, I personally love this telescope. It's not the best telescope, and that is something I do have to give an honest review about, hence the knock of two stars, but I still love it. Now onto the honest review.

So, my ex purchased this for the both of us. I had been going out with him for a little over a year then, and honestly, we both talked about having a telescope together. Since this is the first telescope we got to have together, that's why I loved it a lot - it's not the best but it does the very bare minimum, and I like it.

Now the pros are that the telescope itself seems to feel of decent quality, however as others have pointed out, it is quite blurry if one tries to look at a star. It took me messing with the telescope for a while to get it to try and focus on a star - when it did, it was great. However, that's one of the cons - the stand is VERY shaky and unstable if you try to move it ever so slightly. So even if I plant this in a spot and force it to stay still with my feet, if you so much as moved away from the telescope, you will have trouble being able to have the telescope be where you had it, because the...

J S.: Seeking telescope for 9 yr to 15 yr ages, to be able to see planets & Galaxy's better than just eyesight. This product is a wonderful tool for that purpose. It comes complete, light weight, excellent lens, easy to setup and fold up, for the CARRY ALL backpack bag. I suggest no one to purchase any lesser products for middle grade schoolers and/or those who do go back packing on short weekend camping trips. As to the MOON viewing it is excellent. It may be possible to capture MOON & SPACE images, but takes some more attachments rigged. The Price Point is the proof it is the minimum SCOPE size for starters of SPACE viewing and it came from AMAZON in excellent safe packaging.
