Celestron Travel Scope 70

The Travel Scope 70 is one of the most purchased and most returned beginner telescopes on Amazon. The 70mm aperture will show Saturn's rings, the Moon's craters, and Jupiter's moons — but the flimsy tripod and wobbly focuser ensure most users spend more time fighting the telescope than enjoying it. For the same budget, a pair of 10x50 binoculars will give a better experience of the night sky. For a slightly higher budget, the Sky-Watcher Heritage 100P delivers everything the Travel Scope promises. It is included here because it is heavily searched — if you found this page looking for the Travel Scope 70, please read the alternatives before buying.
