Tuword Telescope for Beginners,70mm Aperture 400mm AZ Mount Photography Tripod 17.9-47.6In

Is good, I don’t understand why you can’t see trough the small eye piece above.

I am new to astronomy but this seems to be a decent starting point telescope so far. I have been able to resolve craters and other features on the moon so far and the crescent phase of Venus which are featured in my somewhat blurry photos if they are made available. Tonight I was able to just make out some of the color bands on Jupiter and could easily see three of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter as well. It is slightly out of collimation but I bought a laser collimator along with it and will attempt using it this weekend to make the focus more clear. The mount is definitely the biggest problem and it's wobbliness forces you to over adjust it every time you turn the telescope towards an object in order to center it in the eyepiece. Even when over adjusting it settles in a somewhat random place so trying to see something specific becomes a real challenge, especially at higher magnifications. The phone mount seems useless because it uses suction cups that don't hold anything for too long. The opening of the 10mm eyepiece is small and hard to see through. I am ordering some color, polarization, and UV/IR filters that will hopefully reduce the glare from the brightness that such a large aperture provides. I am also buying a solar filter so I can see sun spots. I'm not sure if anything can be done about the wobbliness of the mount. I knew this could be a problem going in. I will edit this post if I find out a fix.
