Cameka: My eight year old son enjoyed this telescope! The whole family did. Amazing clear views, sturdy parts and no problems whatsoever

Mr. Vyacheslav L. Danovich: I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the night sky like never before with the Gskyer Telescope, and I must say that this telescope has truly exceeded my expectations. From its impressive build quality to the clarity it offers during celestial observations, the Gskyer Telescope has proven to be an outstanding instrument for amateur astronomers and stargazing enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the Gskyer Telescope is its exceptional optics. The fully coated glass optics provide sharp and vibrant images of the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. I was amazed by the level of detail I could observe on the lunar surface, with craters and ridges coming into focus in stunning clarity. Viewing Jupiter and its Galilean moons was a breathtaking experience, with each moon distinctly visible.

Setting up the telescope was a breeze, thanks to the clear and concise instructions provided. The sturdy aluminum tripod provides a stable foundation, and the adjustable height allows for comfortable viewing at various angles. The included accessories, such as the smartphone adapter and multiple eyepieces, add to the versatility of the telescope, making it suitable...

AraceliAraceli: Great telescope for beginners, easy to set up. Only thing the phone holder for the camera/Bluetooth isn’t very sturdy

Erick KapranosErick Kapranos: The media could not be loaded.  En general, un bonito telescopio.
Es dificil enfocar estrellas, pero la luna se ve muy bien.
Evidentemente es un telescopio infanitl o amateur, facil de armar. Tre un lente para ver con el ojo y otro que se ajusta a la camara del telefono.
Fue un regalo que agradó mucho.

Guillermo Zagal H: A mi hijo le encantó, fácil de usar

alana: No tools needed!!! I pulled up a couple of YouTube videos and had it set up in under 30 minutes. With some fine tuning, I was able to locate the moon and have a pretty decent view. The tripod is flimsy though and if you're taller than a 6 year old you will need to find something stable to put it on in order to raise it to level Don't expect a dazzling display as it can only gather so much light. It is small... But as a newbie, it's good. I did not need a moon filter but you may. I haven't tried it for terrestrial views yet. I would recommend it for an inexpensive telescope if you want to do moon viewing or get someone interested. Remember that you get what your pay for and don't have high expectations. Still, there's nothing like the view.
Edit: If buying this telescope, make sure to buy some good quality lenses. The ones that come with it are just to get you started. I only got 2 uses it if the lens before I couldn't use it anymore. The plastic caused some minor issues. The scope is still good though.

Cliente Amazon: Era un obsequio y agrado mucho , no han indicado dificultad para su uso ni cualquier otra situación adversa, por eso damos calificación perfecta

JAIR: Es realmente fácil de usar y armarlo, pero es muy malo manteniendo su posición e imposible de colocar el teléfono y que este mantenga el objeto fijo en el cielo. Igual traer algún link o vídeo tutorial de cómo sacarle el máximo provecho no estaría mal.

David: Es fácil de usar, trae manual y fotos de ensamblaje, los oculares se sienten de buena calidad, la experiencia de uso es muy buena. Los aumentos te dejarán satisfecho.. solo se batalla al tomar algúna foto o vídeo de la luna. El cielo profundo no lo aumenta mucho, pero eso sí sería exhigirle mucho, aún así disfrute ver Júpiter y los puntitos de sus lunas. Y la conjunción Júpiter/Saturno. En general es muy buen telescopio para principiantes. Si me gustó.

jen86: I bought this knowing nothing about telescopes and not knowing what I could expect to see through this thing.

Now I know more, I think this is a decent value, but it comes with A LOT of cons.

In telescopes, the aperture size matters much more than magnification. The bigger the aperture, the better the image will be. This is a 70mm aperture (2.75 inches), which is about as small as you can get. It's typical for an "entry-level" telescope, and a decent value for the money if you want to get into stargazing without dropping 500 bucks or more on a bigger scope.

However, if I could do it over again, I would've spent more and gone with a better one.

First, as with all beginner telescopes, it is actually much harder to use than a more intermediate level one. This is something well-known in the amateur astronomy group I've joined, and they never, EVER recommend buying a beginner telescope, ESPECIALLY for kids.

Because most kids like looking AT stuff more than looking FOR it. And with this telescope, far more time is spent hunting for objects than actually looking at them.

My kid doesn't have the patience or attention span for that, but I rather...
