Ratings & Reviews Protos Astronomical 60700 Advanced Telescope Monocular

It is an amazing product. I have seen not only Jupiter with clarity but also it s all the four satellites. It is quite cost effective.

Great telescope at fairly low price. Thanks to manufacturer and sellers. It is delivered to me in only 2 days with robust packing, that's amazing. Assembling of main tripod and mounting telescope over it is really easy. First day I saw planets with highest magnification and did not understood anything. But next day I focused the planets and stars by changing tube length with the help of given knob. And I was amazed to see a very clear NEBULA around the ORION. Then I saw KRITTIKA star cluster (PLEIADES or 7 SISTERS). It look like very faint cloud like structure in sky with naked eyes. But with this telescope, all stars of this cluster are clearly visible. Then I gain some confidence. Next I focused on Jupiter and tried to see jupiter with its moon. But it was in vain. I thought that they were not visible due to pollution. But I was wrong. Because next day I tried to focus it again by changing tube length and I was excited to see all 4 MOONS of JUPITER. Jupiter itself looking beautiful with its 2 brown rings in middle. Next day I focused on Saturn. I never ever thought before that I can see RING of SATURN. Yes, I saw saturn with its ring very very clearly. The most exciting thing is watching moon with it. The moon surface was so near and clear that its big craters are beautifully visible. Never saw beauty of moon before this. It is the result of 120x power. I will try to take their snapshots. I also saw mars in its shining Red color. Finder (piggiback finderscope) is also very good and robust. It fell down on floor but did not break. My observation is continuing with this great telescope. Love it. I found eyepieces 4mm, 12.5 mm and 20 mm whereas it was specified on page as 6 mm, 16 mm, H25 mm. I did not used 1.5 erecting lens and 3x barlow lens. Will do it some other time and then tell its importance. Overall it is a very very good telescope at reasonable price and ease of use. Also it is nice to show Kids astronomical bodies.

Worth buying

Built is good and at this price it is steal a deal. It took just few minutes to assemble and my kids manage to see moon with 20x eyepiece. Trying to use other attachments like barlo lens and other eyepiece for planets, hope to see planets in clear sky.

Nice packing and safely brought so it made me to give it a 5.

This is my first Telescope which suits to my requirement of planetary viewing. It is so much useful and easy to install and operate. It is a great piece in affordable cost. i personally recommend it as an educational instrument to schools and colleges

Great beginning to budding astronomers in your house. Good and easy to set up. makes for a good family activity and discussion topic to get kids interests going.

This is a good begginers telescope. The 3x barlow nd the 1.5 erecting eyepieces are usesless. You culd only view with the three eyepieces. Comin to viewing this provides a good view of moon nd nice for bird watching. Couldn't see saturns moons. Was able 2 get a look on venus's colr. At last i would reccomend this to kids.

didnt expect it to be so good at this price.. this is my first telescope so i didnt want to spend too much and i think u should really buy this. the moon was really awesome and can even see jupiter with its moons and u can also see the orion nebula with it

Tough to assemble.
