5.0 out of 5 stars Great Educational and Recreational Telescope

2026-01-23    -mia

The telescope arrived in a box with all the individual pieces wrapped in plastic. The package included a large instructions booklet with multiple languages and pictures within. Also included were a nice storage case, a phone adapter for easier viewing and photography, and stickers to decorate the outside of the telescope. The instructions were clear and concise making assembly easy. The large sturdy articulated tripod makes the telescope very versatile. It can sit easily on a table top or stand on a deck or porch. The stickers were a great distraction for me to discuss facts about space and astronauts with my grandson while his Papa assembled the telescope. Once he had it assembled we were able to apply some stickers and explain the workings to him.The telescope is made of quality materials and feels like a good weight. Heavy enough to be sturdy and feel high quality yet easy enough to move and adjust. I think the telescope will provide a lot of opportunities for education as well as the fun of checking out different celestial events. Definitely recommend this telescope that is a great value.

The HUGERSTAR 80mm refractor telescope is a decent solid choice for beginners. It provides bright, clear views of the Moon, planets, and stars, and also works well for daytime viewing of landscapes and wildlife. The optics are sharp, and the wide field of view makes it easy to explore the sky.The included accessories make this a true all-in-one kit. The tripod is lightweight, but adjustable, the finder scope helps with quick targeting once setup and the smartphone adapter is a fun way to capture and share views. Everything packs neatly into the included backpack, which is great for travel or camping. Are there better telescopes, absolutely, however this is great for seeing if your younger ones are really interested.Setup is quick and tool-free, making it easy for kids and first-time users. Overall, this is a basic well-rounded, portable telescope that encourages family learning and makes stargazing simple and enjoyable.Great Beginner Telescope for Families and Young Stargazers

I got this telescope to try out astronomy, and wow — it’s way cooler than I expected! Even though it says “for adults & kids,” it’s super easy to set up by myself, and the tripod is sturdy so I don’t have to worry about it tipping over.What I Love:Easy to use: The knobs for focusing and moving the telescope are smooth, and I could figure it out without reading the instructions too much.Really clear views: I could see the moon’s craters and even Jupiter’s stripes! The zoom (20X-150X) is awesome for getting close-up views.Portable & fun extras: Comes with a backpack, phone adapter, and stickers — makes it feel like my own little explorer kit.Travel-friendly: I can take it to the park or on a camping trip without it being heavy or complicated.Summary: This telescope is perfect for beginners and young stargazers. It’s fun, easy to use, and really makes you excited to explore the night sky. Highly recommend if you want to start astronomy or just love looking at the stars!

The media could not be loaded. I love how portable this telescope is. I have a Celestron and it's just not something I can take with me very easily. This one isn't going to get the visuals that I don't my $500 telescope, but for the price it is totally worth having a small little telescope I can take camping with me if I just want to look at the moon or something like that.It packs neatly in this little backpack and can come with me anywhere I go!

Great little telescope for a beginner!

Pretty great for the price, first impressions, could quite easily see the cell tower like 7+miles away, which I thought was impressive, decent setup tripod is a little flimsy, but for the price in wouldn't complain. Comes with a nice back pack, making it portable!
