4 out of 5 stars   A Whole Lotta Bang For The Buck!
By Mr. T. on August 23, 2013

Review submitted for Celestron Travel Scope 70 Portable Refractor Telescope (TS70 with Solar Filter) (CT21035)
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality Lenses, Strong Construction, Lightweight, Accurate, Compact
Cons: Mediocre Eyepeices, Tripod Is A Joke, Unstable
Other Comments: This telescope was bought for reworking and conversion into a finder for a bigger telescope, an 8" f/8.5 reflector. It worked out beautifully in that role, and it's MORE than satisfactory for that purpose. On it's own, with the addition of better eyepeices, it would be an pretty decent "Grab & Go" telescope, or a good first telescope for a kid who is interested in astronomy. I may order a second one as a Grab & Go. Bear in mind that the eyepeices included with a telescope by ANY manufacturer are ALWAYS bottom of the line... just good enough to be usable. The tripod is TOTALLY inadequate! A much more substantial mounting is an absolute necessity. I think Celestron included it just to make space in the warehouse. The solar filter and the erecting prism were a pleasant surprise; for the money, they're quite adequate and do their jobs well. A quick test in terrestrial observing (bird watching) showed the prism to be of decent quality. Likewise, the solar filter functions as advertised, and allowed safe, comfortable observation of sun spots. Beyond the relatively minor negatives, the Travel Scope 70 is, IMHO, an excellent buy, whatever purpose it serves.

4 out of 5 stars   Good scope - cheap tripod
By JAF on June 02, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Celestron Travel Scope 70 Portable Refractor Telescope (TS70 with Solar Filter) (CT21035)
Pros: Easy to Use, Lightweight
Cons: Unstable
Other Comments: Bought this for viewing moon, planets etc and does a good job if it weren't for the tripod. Really flimsey and, for all practical purposes, useless for viewing anything in the sky other than the moon. Impossible to track. BUT, it is a pretty good scope and it is very portable. I tried mounting it on my equatorial mount tripod and it works great.

Other Comments: Took it out of the box, put it together and went out to look at the stars that night, great item, but I'll get more use out of it when it gets warmer, since it is so light weight, I'll be using it alot.
