ESSLNB Telescopes for Adults Astronomy, 80mm Astronomical Travel Telescopes with Moon Filter, Erect Image, 10 Times Refractor, Tripod and Carrying Bag for Astronomy Beginners (40080 Telescope)

Instructions were pretty blahhh, however we were able to get it going and I haven’t used it yet but looking forward to it.

Got this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it....Good value for the money

I purchased this item for the cell phone adapter. This adapter is useless for most modern phones with more than one camera lens. For this reason alone I am returning this scope. I made this purchase to take with me on a trip to Costa Rica. I rented an Airbnb with an awesome view of a river canyon. My plan was to take some much-needed time off and take images and video via the adapter. The tripod is super nice. I have several tripods and this one is better than most of the ones I have. The scope comes with a minimalistic case. and a small zipper makeup-style bag for the optics that is just too small to get everything inside. The "lens cover" is a silicone deal that pops into the big end. This will not stay. In the end the price for this telescope is very fair. If I had to purchase a telescope again and not be concerned about the phone adapter, I would recommend this one. Good luck

Excelente

The ESSLNB Telescope for Adults, with its 700mm focal length, unfortunately falls short of expectations. Here’s a summary of my experience:Cons:• Build Quality: The materials used feel cheap and flimsy, leading to concerns about the telescope’s durability.• Optical Performance: The image quality is poor, with blurry and unfocused views making it difficult to enjoy stargazing or terrestrial observation.• Stability: The tripod is unstable, causing constant vibrations that disrupt viewing.• Assembly: The setup instructions are unclear and complicated, making assembly a frustrating process.Overall, this telescope does not deliver on its promises and is not worth the investment. The low-quality build and poor performance make it a disappointing purchase.

I bought this telescope for my child and while it works, it definitely has its flaws. The optics are mediocre — the image is okay, but don't expect anything close to high quality. It’s enough for a curious beginner, but could definitely be sharper.The biggest issue by far is the tripod. It’s extremely flimsy — even the slightest touch moves the entire setup, making it nearly impossible to keep anything in view. We ended up replacing the tripod just to make the telescope usable.Another design concern: the tube with the optics is held together by a single small screw. For a product meant for young kids, this doesn’t feel sturdy or durable enough.Overall, the quality is okay for the price, but the tripod really drags the experience down. If you’re willing to upgrade the tripod yourself, it can be an acceptable starter scope. Otherwise, you might want to look elsewhere.

The media could not be loaded. I was afraid that the performance would be limited because of the very low price compared to others, but I was mistaken. This is the model 40080 which has a larger aperture and 45 deg objectives for both finder and main telescope. I am impressed by the clarity and quality. Images are of boats at Molokini from Maui Meadows about five miles away (without Barlow lens). Almost clear enough to see people. The only limitation appeared to be air turbulence over the land and water.The only limitation, if you can call it that, is the cell phone holder clamp has pretty short pads, so it won't hold a phone in a case, and barely deep enough to hold the phone without the case.

More than expected as far as power and accessories go. The quality is great!. Would definitely recommend this telescope to anyone.
