Review: Enjoying this telescope - I have had this telescope for about a month, and for the first time hobbyist I really feel like I got my money's worth. I got this specifically to see the lead up to the Saturn and Jupiter conjunction in December 2020. In my backyard, with moderate light pollution, I can clearly see Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and four of its moons, and on really clear nights the cloud bands on Jupiter. I have been able to see the Orion nebula and Andromeda galaxy, which are awesome to find and see but aren't going to look like the fancy photos you have seen. You can see a hazy cloud essentially, which is really rewarding but just wanting to give an accurate expectation of what is possible with this scope. You can certainly see a lot of detail on the moon surface as well, including ridges, craters, and shadows. Also great for terrestrial viewing. During the day, while practicing with it, I was able to make out individual people on a mountain summit 18 miles from my location. It really is quick to just yank out and set up with no adjustment needed after you set the finder scope. If you want to do any photography, or see a ton of detail in deep space objects it isn't the greatest because it lacks the equitorial scope for long exposure pictures and the smaller diameter limits the detail you can get for low light objects, but if those are your interests you are going to spend quite a bit more. Certainly worth the money for what it is and I am very pleased with my purchase.
Review: Great beginner to intermediate set - This telescope was purchased as a gift for our six year old daughter. Having owned several telescopes Through my teenage years and into my early twenties I expected to have a beginner set that would allow you to see the craters of the moon and perhaps look at some star clusters not visible to the naked eye. I know product descriptions mention seeing Saturn's rings but I assumed some embellishment of the products abilities and decided to purchase the gift because the setup looked sturdier than the last telescope we purchased for our daughter, which didn't last very long. My expectations were too low and were exceeded the first time we used the telescope. The value in this set can't be beat. This same exact telescope is being sold at my local Best Buy (I'm not sure why it's at a tech store) for $159.99. It comes with two eyepieces (45x and 90x) and has an electronic star finder which is really helpful in finding stars at night once you align it properly. We looked at purchasing several sets locally before we decided on this telescope and the features were far and away greater than similarly priced models we could find in our area. The set is a little advanced for a 6 year old but we wanted to get a set that could stretch her understanding and her current care of her belongings. The excellent part about it is that the set can grow with her. After playing with it a few times I decided to read the user manual. To those having difficulty with different parts of the telescope I highly recommend going through the manual as it really has several tips that resolved small concerns I had (like an inaccurate viewfinder). While reading I came across the mention of several accessories that can be purchased to expand the use of the telescope. Not only does this telescope come with eyepieces that allow our daughter to enjoy it right away there are several things that we can purchase in the future to make this telescope much more advanced. This telescope has great flexibility in its ability to grow with the astronomer. This set has by far the best potential of any set I've ever owned because of the additional accessories that can be purchased for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great viewing...if you are patient
*by P***L on July 31, 2021*

The mount is sticky and irritating especially at higher magnification. The optics are amazing. It is hard to get it stuck in the right spot to view an object but for stuff in the solar system it is absolutely worth it. There is some flex in the tripod, so you will move it to an object you want to view and the field of viewing will bounce back, so you have to mess with it a bit to get it centered. Ultimately I'm glad I bought it because it's worlds better than the binoculars I was using before. If you have the patience to get the AZ70 in the right spot, even with just the 2 lenses it comes with, you'll get a clear image of Saturn with the gaps between the rings and planet and even the shadow of the rings on the planet if the air conditions are good. You can make out the cloud bands on Jupiter and LORDY the moon looks amazing. Not so great for deep space objects, I was able to find andromeda galaxy and the eagle nebula but their presence is underwhelming in the 70mm aperture. Also this scope is very impressive looking, like the stereotypical "telescope" most people think of when they think telescope. It is long and big and the tripod looks super cool even if it is less than optimal. For the price I think it is a decent buy and you will see lots of detail on planets and the moon. I can't emphasize enough how cool the moon looks in this thing, I wasn't even interested in looking at the moon until I pointed this thing at it but now... In conclusion: the mount the tripod kinda suck but the scope its' self is great for resolving binary stars and getting good views of planets and the moon.
