Gskyer Telescope 600x90mm AZ Astronomical Refractor Telescope for Adults Astronomy, German Technology Scope

I’m completely new to stargazing—before this, the closest I got was pointing my spotting scope at the moon and hoping for the best. After poking around online for something simple but not “toy-like,” I landed on this Gskyer 600x90mm telescope, and honestly, I’m really glad I did.First off, putting it together was way easier than I expected. The manual actually made sense (a rare miracle), and within a short time I had everything assembled. The 90mm aperture and 600mm focal length might sound like numbers only pros care about, but even as a newbie, I can say the images look clear and sharp. The two eyepieces (10mm and 25mm) plus the 3X Barlow lens give you options to experiment with magnification. Switching them out takes seconds, which is great when you're still learning what you’re doing.As for the viewing experience: pretty awesome for a beginner. I’ve used it for mountain and treetop views during the day, and at night I’ve been able to see the moon in really nice detail. I even caught a glimpse of Jupiter and its moons, which felt like a tiny personal victory.The only downside is the tripod. It’s definitely kid-height. I’m not tall and even I noticed it sits low. It still works, but if you’re on the taller side, you might find yourself crouching like you dropped your keys. I ended up attaching the scope to an old photography tripod I had lying around, and that fixed the issue instantly.All in all, this telescope has been a great start for someone who’s just dipping their toes into astronomy. Easy to use, beginner-friendly, and gives impressive views for the price. Would absolutely recommend for anyone curious about the night sky!

This is my first telescope so I'm just a begginner amateur type. I wanted something to observe the moon closer and better because until now I had been using a small ×24 hand telescope. In most cases if you want some quality you need to be ready to spend some money so I was looking for a mid of the range one and I went for this telescope. It didn't dissapoint, quite the opposite. It comes in a branded box all nicely and safely wrapped with all bits and pieces. The main body is big, bigger than it appears on the picture, about 60 to 70cm. This is serious stuff. The tripod is the proffesional type, solid stainless steel big diameter legs, all metal holder and scope body, heavy and robust, very stable not the usual plastic light ones you would find on the cheap scopes. The images of the moon are amazing. It just feels so great to be able to see so close. It comes with an A4 paper with photocolour step by step english instructions on how to assemble the whole thing, very straightforward. I love it. I am now looking forward to many nights of moon watching.

This is a very high quality excellent telescope. I bought this for my boyfriend as a birthday gift, we have had so much fun looking at the moon, researching when we can see certain planets were we are, and looking at stars. It was great when the northern lights came to BC! (Canada)Definitely buy this if you’re looking for an affordable but high quality telescope.

This is a large unit even given that it is fairly easy to position with handles that you turn to adjust tension. My only issue is that it’s too short and when looking for stars and the moon I have to take a knee to see into the viewfinder.The stand itself extends but the viewfinder is low when pointing skyward

I am beginner at astronomy, so my goal was to buy an effective and affordable telescope, and this is both of those things.Unfortunately after four-ish uses, I noticed a defect on my telescope where the focus knobs would no longer move the draw tube, the tube appeared to be loose, and there was something rattling around inside the telescope. I was initially disappointed by what happened, but thankfully the experience ended up being a very positive one in the end.I emailed support at Gskyer describing my issue and I received a response back in no-joke, 10 minutes, with an apology and course of action. After supplying them with a quick 30 second video of the issue, they shipped me a brand new telescope with all parts replaced and it was at my doorstep in 4 days. It is disappointing when things go wrong with a product that you have purchased, but even more important is how the company will take care of the situation and make it right for their customer. Gskyer earns top marks for customer service in my book!The new telescope looks great, was neatly/safely packaged, and I am looking forward to restarting my planet/stargazing.
