Celestron Inspire 100AZ Beginner Refractor Telescope with Phone Adapter

Bought as a Christmas gift and just used. Was able to see the moon very well. Kids love it. Sight included needs to be calibrated with the telescope. I didn’t get the chance but still was able to spot the moon without it. Haven’t tried the included software yet

I’m a casual backyard astronomer and I bought this to leave out near my back door to check out a few planets or the moon.I like the way this is built. It looks and feels very solid. It’s a good looking telescope. It’s obviously not that James Webb, but for the money, I think it’s a good deal and I enjoy it. Also, the finder scope works well although it’s a little confusing to figure out how to use it for the first time.

Easy to use with features that the BIG scopes do not have such as highly useful removable red flashlight embedded above accessory tray. Also the scope cap doubles as smart phone holder for astrophotography. Lightweight, quality sight, crisp optics, and neat focus indicator numbers on side of scope for easy return to reference. Stable tripod configuration with locking accessory tray for added sturdiness. Nothing flimsy about the tripod. Bought exclusively for solar eclipse but already see that we will be using it for more sightings. Also, we ordered the 100AZ model which arrived in a sealed 70AZ box but opened anyway to find the 100AZ as ordered. Manufacturer hiccup maybe. Easy to align red sight with scope which we did in less than 2 minutes. Excellent value!

Very nice home use telescope. Definitely stretches the human eye considerably. Very stable, easy to move around, nice looking. The unit comes with two lenses that Very considerably offering a very wide range of application. One unexpected benefit is you can take pictures through the eye piece that provide great photos that can be saved, printed, etc.

My son (7) received this as a birthday present from his grandparents. He has been asking for a telescope since his 4th birthday. He had a small kids scope that barely helped him find the moon and was difficult to look through. My mother wanted something that he could use, but also be able to find what he was looking at and see clearly. This hit the nail on the head. The finder scope was easy to calibrate, and my son is able to find and align the moon and some starts on his own. He needs adult supervision and some help occasionally, but we love that the telescope has encouraged his love of space and not been a discouragement. We also purchased a kit from Celestron that included a moon filter and a 15mm lense and I believe it was smart addition. Even the adults have been amazed by the detail we could see. It also works wonderfully as a day scope. The only downside is the mount can be a bit wobbly and is very easy to bump even when locked, made it difficult to keep on stars as they moved out of view. (But for our beginner purposes this was wonderful).

I have never owned a telescope. This was so easy to set up. I did order a Celestron moon filter kit due to the brightness of the moon. Received it just in time for the Parade of Planets. Now, the planets just look like bright stars through it, although we are pretty sure we saw the rings of Saturn. I do recommend for general moon watching. Or even wildlife/landscape. I am a review reader. And I usually start with the bad lol. BUT, sometimes, the low star ratings are meh. I recommend this for the money, if looking at the moon and some small constellations is what you prefer.

We got this for our son who loves to look at the stars. We’ve gotten telescopes before and couldn’t really see very well so we didn’t want to make the same mistake but also didn’t want to spend a ton of money. Well, this one was a little more expensive but it’s totally worth it!! He’s already been looking through it and it’s so easy to see the stars and planets. So glad we got this one!

Not a good telescope. It’s very difficult to center an object in the field of view because it doesn’t turn easily.

A great first telescope, easy to set up and use, handle is easy to operate. With the purchase of a couple of additional eyepieces I've even been able to see the banding on Jupiter!

التلسكوب ممتاز و مناسب للمبتدئين انصح تجربون التلسكوب في مكان بعيد عن الاضواء مثل Abu Dhabi - Al Quaa

Lovely product clear and best zooming power

Gutes Produkt, Dankeschön

Bought as a gift for a novice astronomer and it works wonderfully. We've had others in the past that weren't great and caused a lot of trouble trying to get the lens to focus clearly. This telescope works great! Great selections of lenses and my son loves being able to see the moon up close AND also see Jupiter and it's moons and the rings of Saturn. He's excited to get even more lenses and has certainly developed a love of astronomy. With a good camera in your phone you can take some amazing photos.
