Telescope for Adults High Powered, 80mm Aperture 600mm Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, Travel Telescopio for Beginners with AZ Mount, Backpack, Phone Adapter, Moon Filter

A great introductory telescope. It’s easy to set up and provides a nice view of the night sky. I appreciate the carrying case to help with its portability. A great telescope for the price point.

I saw the Celticbird Telescope for Adults with the additonal features and decided to give it a try. Item came well packaged and arrived one day after I ordered it. Everything in the photo was included for this travel telescope for easy set up and use. I am an intermediate to advanced user of telescopes as a useful disclaimer. The telescope was disassembled and packed the included backpack which is a nice touch for easy transport. I took about 15 minutes to setup the telescope (your time may vary based on experience). The stand has a built-in compass and bubble level which eliminates the need to have these extra items for leveling and pointing the telescope to "True North" before performing cursory alignment. with the finder scope. The telescope is well constructed with a dew shield and on the mount there are Azmuth markings as well as Alt degree settings that will aid the user to the degree of rotation relative to north and elevation to which the telescope to point upwards.After the initial setup, the alignment of the main scope to the finder scope was done. This step is best done during the day with the target at the appropriate elevation and distance (as per the instructions; communication towers or telephone poles work well to get things dialed in). I took a couple of shots of the moon during the day without the included camera mount just to get a rough idea on the resolution and clarity of a local target (See the attached photos using the 20 mm eyepiece). I briefly used the telescope at night and was able to view some local stars and determine the functionality based on the initial setup.Overall, Celticbird has produced a budget minded telescope that can get a beginner up and running and as a teaching tool for new users. Keep in mind that the telescope mount for this setup can be a bit shaky due to it being lightweight to hold the telescope, but it is functional and will provide a great experience for those starting out in astronomy.

Super cool. Good cost benefit. Easy to assemble. I first used it during the supermoon eclipse last fall, and it was a hit in my building rooftop. Also great for city watching, I could see the screen at Wrigley Field and follow the Cubs games from afar.

I recently purchased the 80x600 AZ Telescope, and I’m thrilled with its performance. Here’s my detailed review based on my experience:Build Quality and DesignThe telescope is well-constructed with a sturdy aluminum alloy tripod that provides excellent stability, even on slightly uneven surfaces. The setup is intuitive, with clear assembly instructions, making it beginner-friendly. The adjustable height of the tripod is a nice touch, catering to both kids and adults. The design is sleek, lightweight, and portable—perfect for backyard stargazing or trips to darker skies.Optics and PerformanceThe 80mm aperture and 600mm focal length offer bright, crisp, and detailed images. The telescope excels at viewing the Moon, planets like Jupiter and Saturn, and even some deep-sky objects such as star clusters. The included eyepieces provide good magnification options, and the 80x power is more than enough for most amateur astronomers. The optics are coated to reduce glare and enhance clarity, which is noticeable when viewing celestial objects.Ease of UseThe altazimuth mount allows smooth movement in both vertical and horizontal directions, making it easy to track objects. The focus knobs are responsive, and the included finder scope helps locate objects efficiently. It’s straightforward to align and use, even for beginners or children.Value for MoneyFor the price point, this telescope offers exceptional value. It’s an ideal entry-level option for beginners who want to explore astronomy without spending a fortune. It also has enough capability to keep more advanced users satisfied.Cons• The finder scope could use an upgrade for better alignment accuracy.• High magnification may lead to slight image instability unless the tripod is perfectly secured.Overall ImpressionThe 80x600 AZ Telescope is a fantastic choice for hobbyists, families, and anyone starting their stargazing journey. With excellent optics, a sturdy build, and ease of use, it’s a great investment in your curiosity about the cosmos.
