Pros: Good value, Easy to Use, Quality Lenses, Lightweight, Accurate, Compact Cons: Unstable Other thoughts: A great value for the money.I was amazed that Buydig offered even a solar filter with free shipping! A great instrument for beginners in Astronomy.

Pros: Accurate, Compact, Quality Lenses, Lightweight, Strong Construction, Easy to Use Cons: Other thoughts: Good item

Pros: Easy to Use, Quality Lenses, Strong Construction, Lightweight, Accurate, Compact Cons: Mediocre Eyepeices, Tripod Is A Joke, Unstable Other thoughts: 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.

Pros: Lightweight, Easy to Use, Compact Cons: Unstable Other thoughts: Great little scope for a nubie like me. The tripod isn't too hot though................

Pros: Easy to Use, Lightweight Cons: Unstable Other thoughts: 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.

Pros: Easy to Use, Lightweight, Compact Cons: Unstable Other thoughts: My 5yo girl saw the craters on the moon for the first time. Just watching her reaction was worth the price.

Pros: Terrible, Lightweight Cons: Difficult to Use, Unstable Other thoughts: no good for astronomy

Pros: Quality Lenses, Easy to Use, Compact, Lightweight, Accurate Cons: Other thoughts: The Telescope is a perfect spotting scope. I have used it to more than 150 yds with .22,5.56 and .308. the holes are crystal clear. I have recommended the telescope and Buydig.com to my shooting friends.

Pros: Easy to use, Accurate, Strong Construction, Quality Lenses, Compact Cons: Cheap tripod Other thoughts: 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.
