Slokey 50080 Refractor Telescope for Astronomy - 20x-250x Travel Scope with Tripod, Eyepieces and Barlow Lens for Moon and Stargazing - Easy to Mount, Portable, Powerful Telescope for Kids and Adults

Now I've had this telescope for a week and had a decent play around with it, I can say with certainty that the product was worth the price tag. It was not only delivered a day earlier than expected but it shipped extremely quickly which was nice. With this being my first telescope I'm still figuring it out but the process it a lot of fun, unfortunately I have yet to view the moon (Here's almy first photo of venus instead), and I only figured out how to improve the view of the planet venus after the photo I posted was taken. As for the telescope, while I have nothing to compare it to, I'm still beyond impressed, it does everything it has set out to do and then some. My only complaint is that it wobbles quite a bit when touched or knocked but thats probably due to the tripod being rather lightweight since it's probably more of a travel scope. Still, it's easy enough to work around and doesn't bother me too much, weights can be added for more stability after all. I love how the telescope comes in a carry bag, even the bag is really good quality material, just like everything else and makes it so easy to pack and store away or transport around. I can't think of any issues that would put a negative on anything, it comes with a 2 year warrenty so any slights out of the box can be worked around. Overall whether you're new to telescopes like I am or have more experience, this Telescope with well worth the money!

I bought this telescope to taken a closer look at nature and the solar system. It is easy to assemble with a step by step guide. This is perfect for a beginner who doesn't want anything too complicated. Once you have set up your red dot finder, it's simple, use your red dot finder to point to the image you want which will then appear in the telescope viewer. (Focusing required) The camera attachment is a bit faffy at first but practice makes perfect. I've looked at a few stars and various wildlife and am waiting for some clearer night skies at the moment. The telescope comes with various lenses with different magnifications including a Barlow lense which will come in useful once we get a new moon. I'm extremely pleased with the product for the price and would recommend this to an adult beginner.

It’s fun to use, super lightweight, and not bad at all for the price. It folds up nicely into the included carry bag, making it easy to store and transport. The size is just right, compact enough to be convenient without sacrificing comfort. Function-wise, it works like a basic telescope. It doesn’t zoom incredibly far, but it’s great for viewing nearby objects up close. The focusing could definitely be better, I was never able to get a perfectly clear image. The pictures I’ve included show the clearest view you can expect, which is the reason why I gave it a 4 out of 5⭐. For the best experience, I recommend using it while sitting down with the telescope elevated, as you'll otherwise find yourself hunched over a lot. It comes with a few extra lenses and a red dot laser to help aim at your target. You can adjust the movement sensitivity, but it’s a bit tricky, either too stiff to move smoothly or too loose, causing it to drift off your target if you're not careful. I do wanna mention that the phone attachment didn't work for me, its probably because of my thick phone case, but aiming my camera into the eyepiece, I managed to take some pictures. Overall, its a nice telescope, great to get started in Astronomy or just admire the stars. Would recommend!

What can I say, besides the fact that I love the telescope and product service. Everything is clearly explained in the instructions, so that it is very easy to understand how to operate, how it works and what you are looking at. After a couple of uses, I got a lot better at finding tiny objects and can fairly easily visualise Saturn's rings or Jupiter's moons. The moon is stunning. The eyepieces and barlows that come with it offer enough magnification to see Jupiter and Saturn. You can buy extra barlows or eyepieces off of Slokey's website. One thing that I really liked is customer support. One of the eyepieces that I got came with dust and an imperfection. I contacted the company and they sent their apologies and shipped a new piece right away. A great buy if you want to start stargazing!

My husband has mentioned for a while his desire to have a telescope to view the stars. So this year I brought one, I was a bit nervous, as I knew nothing about telescopes. So with a bit of research I decided on this model. My husband loves it, spent an hour setting it up and the last two evenings looking at the stars and attaching his phone. The product is well made with a handy travel case. It arrived on time and was a reasonable price. I’d recommend for anyone who wants to give astronomy a go.

I was very pleased of how quickly my parcel arrived and I also received an email from Slokey on how too set up the scope and also making sure all was good with my purchase and if I was happy with everything, which I thought was very decent and helpful, the scope itself was easy to set up and get outside for a view of the full moon straight away, it will still take me a while to get used to the different magnification on the 3 lenses and also adding on the Barlow lens, but it’s a very good scope and I’m hoping for more clear nights, I would recommend this scope for anyone wanting to try out star gazing 😊

Telescope arrived on time despite through Amazon Slokey saying they don't deliver to the UK. Its lightweight and easy to set up even for a complete novice like myself. The 25m lens, clarity is ok however using the 10 and even 6 it is what I would call foggy and not clear. . The shake from the telescope in even light wind does nothing to help vision. Is it worth the money? Probably. I have used binoculars to better effect but its quite fun.

Bought for my daughters 50th birthday. She was thrilled with it, & can't wait for clear skies. Tripod is sturdy. Great value, some reviews say it's for kids, but I don't agree, great adults start up. Excellent, sturdy carry-bag & extra lenses a bonus. Did find connecting phone to it a bit hit & miss (goes black) but practice makes perfect lol

A great amateur telescope. Enough lenses included to make star gazing all the more fun. Not to mention viewing the moon in great detail!

Really interesting the quality is all good

El telescopio se monta súper rápido y es muy fácil de manejar. En un momento ya lo tienes listo y desde mi terraza en Barcelona he podido observar con claridad Saturno y sus anillos, Júpiter y sus lunas y obviamente la Luna. Incluso he podido seguir algún satélite aunque esto ya requiere de algo de paciencia y maña. Es perfecto para principiantes que no quieren gastarse mucho dinero ya que la relación calidard precio es bastante buena. Es muy ligero, pesa menos de 5kg y viene en una funda para transportarlo. Hay dos cosas que no han funcionado del todo bien: el compartimento de la pila para la mirilla de punto rojo no cierra bien y hace que funcione a ratos. También, la lente de 6mm tiene polvo en su interior y se ven las partículas al usarla. Igualmente, nada que no esté cubierto por la garantía. En general, un telescopio muy recomendable.

Für den Preis von 300€ kann man sicher keine Wunder erwarten. Ich finde die Darstellung im Teleskop ist jedoch ausreichend scharf und klar. Die Grundausstattung ist sehr gut. Für die Betrachtung des Mondes, habe ich mir noch einen Mondfilter 25%, ebenfalls von Slokey, dazugekauft. Da ich das Teleskop mit auf Reisen nehmen möchte, bin ich von der mitgelieferten Tasche und dem geringen Gewicht begeistert. Abstriche muss man am Stativ machen. Es ist zwar vom Stand her stabil, da die Bewegung allerdings über einen Hebel erfolgt, ist die Positionierung nicht immer einfach. Da hätte ich mir eine Lösung mit Drehregler und Gewinde für die Feineinstellung gewünscht.

Giocattolo costoso. Il difetto più grande è il meccanismo di regolazione, quando muovi il telescopio per la messa a fuoco si muove tutto, è "gommoso", avrei preferito un comando con un flessibile. Un altro difetto è l'inclinamento dell'oculare perché quando una stella o un pianeta sono sulla tua testa devi fare le contorsioni per cercare di vederlo. Per questo prezzo non conosco altri telescopi quindi non posso esprimermi. Sicuramente per i pianeti vicini e per la luna va benissimo ma per pianeti come Saturno sono rimasto un po' deluso perché si vede molto piccolo. Nota positiva che è molto leggero ed ha un buon cavalletto, è anche molto pratico con la sua valigetta, poco ingombrante e facile da montare. Si monta e si smonta molto velocemente. Ha anche l'adattatore per lo smartphone per fare le foto molto utile
