Celestron PowerSeeker 70AZ Telescope

This is the telescope you are looking for. You are searching for the right telescope, so many options, so many things you don't understand about telescopes. This is what you want. Great optics, easy to set up, affordable. Buy this one, you will not regret it. I bought this telescope for $40 on sale during Christmas several years ago. I have carried it everywhere since. This scope, the price, the experiences with it are what made me love star gazing! I knew nothing about telescopes before I bought this one. After several years of star gazing, this is my go-to scope, everytime. I own several more expensive telescopes that are just too complicated and tedious to set up and don't deliver. Please don't spend a ton of money on a telescope that you won't use because it's too difficult to set up. This telescope can go anywhere and take a beating. You can clearly see Saturn's rings and moons, Jupiter's colors and moons and so many other awesome nebulas, star clusters and other space objects. The upgrades (i.e. lenses, filters etc.) are so affordable and worth it. Just buy this telescope and get on with it. After buying "stronger" scopes, you will return to this one time and time again. Trust me. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Good telescope for viewing the moon and some planets
