Zhumell60mm AZ Refractor Telescope,ZHUN001-1,Black

Overall I like it. View finder laser was off (but so was my last scope). Easy views of moon, and doubler lens helped zoom in where moon was larger than the field of vision, which was nice. This kit requires manual maneuvering at the connection level, meaning there's no fine tuning at the tripod for positioning. This isn't a complaint, just pointing out for those making a comparison to higher end kits with an upgraded attachment to the tripod.

I had been into astronomy in the past, but my old equipment had been banged up through a couple moves over the last 2 decades. I tried fixing my main scope, but it had a couple scratches on both mirrors(not sure how). Just couldn't get good clear images. I was looking to get back into sky watching, especially planets, but I didn't want to invest a ton up front and then it end up sitting in a closet for the next 2 decades like my old scope. This scope is awesome. Especially for viewing the planets(Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Moon). Just with the 2 eyepieces provided(which are actually really good for provided eyepieces on a budget scope) were enough for very good viewing. I have some more expensive eyepieces that weren't any better at all. The Barlow is the only weak spot. It's just "ok". For less than $50 you can get a much better one. This scope brings in just enough light, but not too much. Using the 10mm, the included barlow, and no filters, I could easily make out the cloud bands on Jupiter, and a little separation in the rings of Saturn. This scope really REALLY gave me what I originally wanted in astronomy. Now all I want is MORE!!! Next stop, 8" or 10" dobsonian. Thank you Zhumell.Here is a little after thought: One thing to keep in mind though. Reflector style telescopes are not the best starter scope for impatient people or kids. You will have to align the mirrors. This one came almost perfect, but after a couple car rides, it definitely needed adjustment. For the best starter for a kid, get a refractor. 70mm+. And buy better eyepieces for it. They like to send you a 20mm or 25mm and a 4-6mm in most base setups. The 20-25 is only good for finding where you want to start, and the 4-6mm is WAY too strong and small scopes don't bring enough light for that at all. The sweet spot is 10mm-15mm. This scope at 10mm is absolutely awesome. You have to realize most of these pictures you see on the internet or TV are images that have been "stacked"(many exposures taken by a large expensive scope and then stacked by a computer program to fill in the detail), or artificially colored. You will never see color looking with your naked eye through a telescope. Stacking images brings out the colors. That being said, the first time I saw Saturn in this scope with the 10mm, it was awe inspiring. I love this little scope for planet viewing.There is only 1 real con with this size reflector, and most small refractors under 80mm. Anything beyond planet viewing(nebula/galaxy/deep space) is garbage. It doesn't bring in enough light. For that you need a 5"+ short or 8" long reflector.

Es excelente por su precio. Se Monta rápido y sencillo, aunqueno trae instrucciones. Tuve que entrar a la pag de Amazon para ver las instrucciones. Lo que para mi como principiante es negativo, es el uso de los eyepieces, que necesitaria alguna instrucciones adjuntos. La verdad que con dos de ellos no veo nada. Con el basico logré ver la conjunción de saturno y jupiter en diciembre 2020. En fin, debería traer un manual de uso. Por ejemplo, tampoco se como utilizar mi cel. Con él Para obtener fotos. Por otro lado, la lu a se ve espectacular!

The only thing I do not like is the Barlow lens. It gives a poor image. But for the 60 dollars I paid for the telescope, I can't complain. The optics are very good, the eyepieces are decent and the finder scope is great. It's also lightweight and very portable. Easy to assemble out of the box. Built quality good for the price.The image is very sharp with minimal color aberration. The Moon looks very good, with lots of surface detail and contrast. Jupiter shows two cloud bands and the four Galilean moons as dots of light. Saturn shows the rings and its biggest moon Titan as a faint but visible dot. I could see the Orion nebula as a faint green cloud with the trapezium stars resolved. The Pleiades look beautiful. For land use it gives you a correct image (not inverted or mirror). Conclusion: for 60 mm of aperture and the price, you can't go wrong with this telescope.

Overall, I’m happy with this telescope. It is very easy to locate the target, and the image is clear. It has been a great excuse to get outside and spend time with the family.My favorite feature is the view finder. I am able to put the red dot over the planet, adjust the focus, and start viewing. It is especially valuable because my kids have a limited attention span, and it keeps them more engaged by limiting the amount of waiting.The adjustable tripod legs were also a nice feature as I could set the height for the shortest person viewing. Gone are the days of finding a table or crawling on the ground.The telescope comes with 2 lenses and a 2x Barlow Lens (doubles the magnification of the other 2 lenses) for a total of 4 distances. The 25mm was the least magnification, and I was able to see every crater on the moon. I preferred the 10mm lens, or the 25mm w/ Barlow to get a little closer and see more details. I found that the highest setting was too close and very difficult to focus because the slightest movement shook the image too much.For fun, I zoomed on a star that turned out to be Venus, but even with the highest magnification it still looked like a star. I wouldn’t expect this telescope to be able to see Venus, but I still tried.Assembly was relatively easy. It is entirely possible to put it together without instructions as there aren’t many parts. Everything is assembled with hand screws, so no tools are required. I used the instructions and found that when I read them, they were fairly complete. Although, I would have preferred a few more pictures. I’m still not entirely sure about the purpose of the round disc in the tripod, but I have left it off because it takes away the ability to close the tripod when moving through the door to go outside. I also haven’t found a purpose for the included wrench.I’m quite pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to other amateur stargazers.

Got this for my daughter for Christmas. She was very happy with it. The build quality is good and the lenses seem to have a pretty clear image. For the price, you cant really go wrong.

El material es muy bueno. Al principio puede parecer difícil su uso, pero solo es cosa de práctica. Sí es posible ver la Luna y sus cráteres, lo único malo es la dificultad de encontrar filtros lunares. De ahí en fuera, es perfecto.

Es bueno para principiantes, es fácil de ensamblar y de usar, es resistente pero si le falta estabilidad y potencia.

Muy buen telescopio para empezar en este mundo de la astronomía

El producto cumple con el objetivo, se tiene que tener paciencia para entender como opera, la base resistente, buena manipulación y buena resolución
