This is a great gift.

This telescope exceeded my expectations. The quality is exceptional. It comes in a storage bag so taking it with you or just keeping it all together to so easy. It was easy to put together and get ready to use. I used this to look at stars and it was amazing. My son will love this. He is getting it for Christmas and I'm sure he will be as excited as I was using it and getting to see the moon and stars better.

Amazing telescope!

I received the National Geographic 70MM Refracting Telescope with Case. This is a fantastic device for viewing stars at night and nature around us in the daytime. There are two different magnifiers in this great device. It can be tilted in various directions to catch the object easily and conveniently. There is a good telescopic tripod that can be easily folded. It is great that this telescope can be put into a small bag and carried very conveniently anywhere with you. This device can be assembled very fast and easily when needed. All-in-all, this a very good device for the entire family!

Excellent Telescope

This telescope is AMAZING! Box design is perfect for gifting. Set up was easy. My husband and I tested it before showing the kids and it works extremely well. Adjusting is slick. We live on the outskirts of town so it was nice to be able to see so many stars! This will give you hours of fun each time you use it.

Economical telescope!

National Geographic 70MM refracting telescope is a must have your astronomy lover. It comes with a case, full length tripod, and has 400MM focal length. Our son loves the stars and this is a quality telescope at a great price!

Great telescope for my 9 year old

I love how many accessories come with it especially that it comes with a case to keep it all on so it stays safe and all together. It definitely is a must have for a little science kid who loves anything regarding space. My son had been asking for one for two years now and I can't wait to see the look on his face.

Not great

I really wanted this to work well as a starter telescope. Sadly, it’s not very good. Hard to calibrate and loses focus easily. Also just all around cheaply made. The tripod is wobbly and worthless. I’m disappointed because I was looking forward to using this on camping trips out of the city where there are tons of stars

Star Scope

So when I picked this item I was super excited to receive it as I love looking up at the stars! I took it out of the box and it was so easy to put together and it is super lightweight! It is the perfect gift for a growing kid that wants to look into the stars! It does not do so well with clouds but totally not a deal breaker!

RT70400

So excited about this National Geographic telescope. 20X and 40x power Magnification. There is also a smart phone adapter. Comes with everything. The set up is easy. Great carrying/storage case. We live by the beach and will have lots of family fun with this.

Nice Starter Telescope

I will start out by saying I am a complete novice. I was able to follow the directions in putting together the National Geographic SRT 70mm telescope pretty easily. I am still working on figuring out the red dot viewfinder. We have had cloudy very cold weather since I have had it, so I'm not sure if it is that or if I need more practice in using it, but so far I've only been able to see stars. It comes with 2 eyepieces, 10mm & 20mm. You can also take puctures of what you see with your cell phone, but I haven't tried that yet. Everything fits back nicely in the travel case for easy storage. I'm looking forward to using more when the weather gets better.
