Celestron 80mm Travel Refractor Telescope with Fully-Coated Glass Optics - Perfect for Beginner Astronomy Observation

Celder: Este telescopio es muy portable, ya que cuenta con una mochila para ponerse en la espalda. Puedes observar la Luna muy bien que es un objeto estelar que me gusta mucho.
Lo puse en mi estudio y luce fantástico.

Mark W.Mark W.: This is my first telescope, and I’m a complete novice. I just wanted something inexpensive and portable that was suitable for planetary viewing. This telescope met those three standards. Price and portability are the strength of the 80mm Travel Scope. It is a very lightweight and compact package. The bag is nothing special, but convenient. We have taken it car camping several times, space is always a concern, and it was no problem fitting it in with the rest of the camping gear. It was inexpensive enough that I’m not worried about it getting banged around and the rough handling at camp. And, we have been able to view Saturn with some success (the ring is discernable with a gap,,,,,good not great), Jupiter and the Galilean moons (no bands or color, but impressive to me), and Mars….not much to look at there. I was surprised to find that the moon is actually very interesting, and the 80mm Travel Scope gave us some great views. So, overall, I’m happy with the purchase.
To echo other reviews…
The tripod is garbage. Compact and lightweight, but absolute garbage. The scope bounces if someone breaths within 10’. This really impacts viewing, and makes focusing a...

NGNG: Got this for my 10 year old son. So he'd have a scope light enough for him to bring outside and set up on his own, and cheap enough that it's not a huge loss if it gets messed up. Also, I kinda wanted a travel scope to use for myself too. I have plenty of large scopes that take a lot of time to set up. This is perfect for setting up and taking down quickly and easily.
There is lots of chromatic aberration around the edges of the moon, but its pefectly fine for a $100 scope. I've included a couple moon pics taken by my son and a quick single exposure of the Orion Nebula that he took. Both he took with a phone, using the supplied phone attachment.
The scopes construction is extremely cheap plastic. But that also makes it very light and portable. The tripod is very light as well, but that makes it the worst item in the bundle. It is very shaky and positioning it on an object, especially with a phone attached, is quite a pain. But as long as you understand and are OK with this being a travel scope, it's a great purchase. I love the little thing as much, if not more, than my kid.

Logan V.: Like many said you will soon want a 3x Barlow. My biggest issue is the flimsy tripod, I would suggest a better mount but honestly beyond some frustration keeping planets in focus on max zoom- and with the slightest gust of wind destroying your view- it does its job. The small sighting scope was useless, went in the trash. You don't really need that though, this is more of a scope for viewing the inner planets. You can eyeball that pretty easily even at high zoom.

1- You can see the rings of Saturn. That's the biggest thing that made me want a scope.
2- The moon is awesome to look at- but you will need sunglasses so keep that in mind. I suggest a polarization filter. Unscrew the metal tube at the bottom of the lens to thread one in.
3- Daytime views are pretty good too. I can read the name of a large boat from a couple miles. It's portable enough to go bird watching if you have a good vantage point. Definitely would be great for Big Cypress in FL- view the birds coming in at sunset.

I will definitely need to upgrade at some point but for the money, it's a good scope to jump into exploring the night sky.

Julián Eduardo González Organista: The media could not be loaded.  El telescopio sólo es muy bueno!! pero debes tener bastante paciencia ya que lo malo de este producto es su tripié... es demasiado inestable, y cuesta mucho esfuerzo lograr fijar la imagen de algún planeta en la mira del ocular, la imagen tiembla mucho, a pesar de que estoy en un piso de loseta completamente plano, coloco la burbuja del nivel justo en el centro, y que he colocado un costal con 6kg de pesas colgado en el gancho en la parte inferior del tripié para agregarle más fuerza gravitacional... se me dificulta mucho estabilizar la imagen que se ve en el ocular, vibra muchísimo, cuando localizo algún cuerpo celeste que quiero observar.... ajusto fuertemente los tornillos de la montura para fijar el movimiento pero el peso del telescopio lo desvía y me pierde el astro del ocular, y es muy muy frustrante, lo que he optado es ajustar más arriba de donde se ubica el cuerpo celeste (perdiéndolo de vista momentáneamente) esperando que cuando el peso del telescopio desvíe la mira el objetivo logre quedar fortuitamente el astro visible en mi ocular, sencillamente EL TRIPIÉ ALTAZIMUTAL ES UNA PESADILLA, los astros se mueven más...
