About Celestron - AstroMaster 70AZ Telescope - Refractor Telescope - Fully Coated Glass Optics
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
77% appreciated the smooth and precise adjustments, while 23% found them stiff
I was surprised that the telescope adjusts easily at such a low price.
The telescope comes with a led finderscope that can be aligned with the telescope using two finger screws.
It took me a day to get adjusted to using the telescope.
81% praised for its durable construction, but 19% noticed scratches on the lenses
The product has completely deteriorated.
The telescope mount is a little sloppy even with the set screws tightened, it moves up and down 1/8th of an inch.
82% found it easy to set up and use, while 18% struggled with the controls
The assembly process was easy, but the ease of use was horrible.
76% praised for its crystal-clear optics
I have a 6 inch reflector, but this refractor telescope gives much clearer images.
I suggest keeping the eye lenses high in the scope for clear viewing, similar to manual zoom.
70% praised for its versatile magnification range, but 30% found it limited
At F/13, I can easily get crisp views up to 120X with my telescope. I was also able to see all 4 bands of Jupiter at 120X magnification using my own 15mm Eye Piece and a 2X barlow.
I wished to increase the magnification with a Barlow Lens, which would have been awesome.
For planets farther away, we need separate eye pieces with stronger magnification.
69% liked its compact and lightweight design, but 31% found it too heavy
I did not mention anything about the portability of the telescope-refractor.
78% liked the sturdy and balanced design, although 22% found it wobbly
The tripod of my telescope is made of cast iron, providing a lot of stability despite its weight.
The telescope-refractor is difficult to stabilize and keep pointed at an object, which can be frustrating for me and others trying to view the object.
