Celestron Inspire 100AZ Refractor Telescope with Built-in Smartphone Adapter, Blue

Bought as a Christmas gift and just used. Was able to see the moon very well. Kids love it. Sight included needs to be calibrated with the telescope. I didn’t get the chance but still was able to spot the moon without it. Haven’t tried the included software yet

I’m a casual backyard astronomer and I bought this to leave out near my back door to check out a few planets or the moon.I like the way this is built. It looks and feels very solid. It’s a good looking telescope. It’s obviously not that James Webb, but for the money, I think it’s a good deal and I enjoy it. Also, the finder scope works well although it’s a little confusing to figure out how to use it for the first time.

Great telescope

This is a recent purchase, so I might adjust the score later (that's why I gave it a "4", for now). I have used it several times and found everything is working just fine. The product came well-packed and without damage. There is a problem with one of the focus adjust dials, but I think it is operator-error... maybe. Overall, however, I am pleased. If someone is looking for movie-style images of the planets, they will be disappointed. Yet, it does deliver what it claims. This is a great introductory product for Astronomy. I would recommend, as I have done, that you purchase additional lenses for more detailed viewing. As it comes, the optics are good quality and set-up is very easy. I definitely recommend this telescope.

Exactly what I needed for life on the Bay to see dolphin and manatees up close once sited. For the price it’s great, and is made of quality material. It comes with 2 eyepiece magnifications, both pretty powerful, but could really use a 30mm to go with the 20&10mm for even faster siteing response.. Reading the reviews it appears that people are accidentally buying this for upclose planet viewing, I don’t believe this is the intent for this unit. With the wide field of view, portability, and easy set up, this one is perfect for terrestrial viewing, quickly locating sites objects. The only complaint is that although all components are made of nice material, the engineering is missing a little, for instance the telescope slide bracket doesn’t have a stop on the glide, and the two thumb screws used to hold in place are way long and dig into the bracket. This works fine but being the only weaknesses and so easily addressed, should be corrected. I still rated it 5-Stars since there is nothing like it for the way I use mine, more like a super target spotter.

My son (7) received this as a birthday present from his grandparents. He has been asking for a telescope since his 4th birthday. He had a small kids scope that barely helped him find the moon and was difficult to look through. My mother wanted something that he could use, but also be able to find what he was looking at and see clearly. This hit the nail on the head. The finder scope was easy to calibrate, and my son is able to find and align the moon and some starts on his own. He needs adult supervision and some help occasionally, but we love that the telescope has encouraged his love of space and not been a discouragement. We also purchased a kit from Celestron that included a moon filter and a 15mm lense and I believe it was smart addition. Even the adults have been amazed by the detail we could see. It also works wonderfully as a day scope. The only downside is the mount can be a bit wobbly and is very easy to bump even when locked, made it difficult to keep on stars as they moved out of view. (But for our beginner purposes this was wonderful).

I have never owned a telescope. This was so easy to set up. I did order a Celestron moon filter kit due to the brightness of the moon. Received it just in time for the Parade of Planets. Now, the planets just look like bright stars through it, although we are pretty sure we saw the rings of Saturn. I do recommend for general moon watching. Or even wildlife/landscape. I am a review reader. And I usually start with the bad lol. BUT, sometimes, the low star ratings are meh. I recommend this for the money, if looking at the moon and some small constellations is what you prefer.

Not a good telescope. It’s very difficult to center an object in the field of view because it doesn’t turn easily.

التلسكوب ممتاز و مناسب للمبتدئين انصح تجربون التلسكوب في مكان بعيد عن الاضواء مثل Abu Dhabi - Al Quaa

Lovely product clear and best zooming power

Gutes Produkt, Dankeschön

Bought as a gift for a novice astronomer and it works wonderfully. We've had others in the past that weren't great and caused a lot of trouble trying to get the lens to focus clearly. This telescope works great! Great selections of lenses and my son loves being able to see the moon up close AND also see Jupiter and it's moons and the rings of Saturn. He's excited to get even more lenses and has certainly developed a love of astronomy. With a good camera in your phone you can take some amazing photos.

Min yngsta dotter har blivit helt frälst i allt som rör rymden. Efter YouTube-klipp och check på nätet stod det klart att detta teleskop är riktigt bra värde for pengarna. Köpte till Svbony okular 6mm och det funkar kanon! Alla är mycket nöjda och till och med de äldre barnen har börjat intressera sig för rymden!
