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!

I bought this for my husband who was delighted. We've both enjoyed looking at the moon, unfortunately our night skies have been overcast the last few nights but after 1st experience know we will both enjoy using this telescope. It was easy to set up and gives great clarity. Bonus, it is portable and light weight with a carry case. We're looking forward to taking it with us on holiday in France next year. Can strongly recommend this telescope to amateur star gazers.

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!

This a pretty good piece of kit. However, a visitor clumsily knocked it over and the viewer snapped off a while ago now. I have done everything I can to get hold of Slokey to see if they can help by sending me a replacement but they don't seem to exist. I tried messaging them on here, absolutely no response. I have searched for them high and low elsewhere on the internet with no joy whatsoever. So I now have £200 worth of otherwise perfectly decent kit sitting in the corner collecting dust. So, if you're thinking of buying from them, just be warned that if you have any problems with your kit, you ain't getting no help from no one.

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.

Really pleased with this telescope. We are newbies to the world of stargazing so think this is a great starter telescope for us. Easy to set up and comes with everything you need including carry bag.

Bon matériel pour débutant

Muy buena relación calidad-precio, cumple para observaciones astronómicas básicas y no tan básicas sin tanto rollo y para observaciones terrestres. Fácil de armar y transportar y puedes sacar fotos u observar en la pantalla de tu celular. Si acaso en lugar del ocular de 25mm hubiera tenido uno de 20mm sería mejor para observaciones de espacio profundo pero ese lo puedes comprar aparte y ya está. Lo del tripié que comentan algunos no es problema una vez que centras el objeto a observar o simplemente se soluciona como dice en el manual: Colgándole una bolsa con peso (con algunos libros o algo así). Y no creas que por el doble o triple de precio con otros telescopios vas a ver marcianos caminando sobre Marte o mucho más; para obtener realmente un aumento y nitidez en verdad significativamente mayor a lo que este te da usando los oculares adecuados, necesitarías invertir una súper-lanota, o sea este te puede dar prácticamente el mismo rendimiento que un telescopio que puede costar hasta tres veces más. Tomado en cuenta lo que cuesta y lo que te da le doy un 5 de 5 sin ningún problema.

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

Good for kids
