A mid-range telescope. The tripod is the biggest downside of this set, it's unstable (unless you add extra weight), the up-down adjustment is tolerable but left-right is a disaster. Poorly fitting parts make it very difficult to set up the telescope for observation. The included finder has to be reset every time. If you care about numbers, it offers a declared magnification of 350x. In reality, at this magnification, you see the moon for a few seconds, then have to move the telescope again, and the tripod doesn't help—instead, it makes things worse. Any touch, whether to the focus or height knobs, causes you to lose sight of the object. The sharpness of objects is also not impressive, and with the 4mm eyepiece, it's impossible to achieve focus.

Astronomical telescope featuring a 76 mm objective lens, crafted for novice astronomers, ideal for exploring key celestial bodies. Enables viewing of Saturn’s rings, observing Jupiter’s moons in transit, and discerning the phases of Venus.
Delivers a maximum magnification of 262x under its standard configuration, with a dedicated Barlow lens for this model to achieve double the standard magnification.
An interchangeable contrast filter, designed specifically for lunar observations, enhances image clarity during the full moon, making it possible to distinguish finer features such as craters, mountain ranges, and lunar seas.
Features a Rack&Pinion 1.25" focuser, compatible with standard accessories.
Access to computer software, star maps, user guides, and a documentary film is provided by scanning the QR code included on the leaflet in the package.
