This is the best value for money telescope available for beginners. I taught him to set it up, so its quite easy even for a 6 year old. And then its excellent for daytime viewing or spotting. the optics is of good quality and built is great. For astronomical use, its good enough for moon and planets. I saw Saturn with its rings the other day. The tripod is not of great quality but that'OK , you can use any other good quality camera tripod. The eyepieces are good 10mm and 20 mm providing 40X and 20X magnification. But maybe a pair of 25mm and 10mm would have been better considering the fact that a separate 3X barlow could provide 4 unique magnification. I am pretty happy with the scope and i recommend this as a beginner telescope for kids ( with interest ). Review: Great scope but... - I have used this telescope for more than a month now and I love it. The best thing about it is its portability. You can carry it to places with great night sky views. The optics are clear giving crisp images. Both the eyepieces perform well giving a decent field of view. So far, I have seen three star clusters (the best one being the Pleiades), Jupiter with good detail and four of its moons, Mars with decent colour but no detail (even though it was towards the horizon in a polluted sky), Orion Nebula as a grey patch, still magnificent though. I'm waiting for saturn, mercury and venus to come up. UPDATE: Seen saturn's rings and venus. Neither showed any colour. Things to note before buying: 1) The telescope performs very well, the tripod equally badly. It is plastic, very light weight and shakes at even 60x with no wind. If you buy it, start looking for a better tripod. At home, I use it with an equitorial mount and a bigger tripod. 2) The given eyepieces give you 20x (20 mm) and 40x (10 mm) magnification. So if you want to see planets, buy a barlow lens or high power eyepieces. Celestron barlow and eypieces each cost half the price of the telescope itself but there are cheaper Indian alternatives that will do just as well. The maximum magnification I have tried is 133x (6mm plossl and 2x barlow), I'm sure it can handle more. 3)I won't recommend it as a starting telescope. Spend an extra 3-4000 on a bigger telescope with an AZ or equitorial mount. Buy this one only if you like to travel a lot. 4)The finderscope is plastic but this telescope is so small and so manoeuvrable that I never use it. ## Features - All coated glass optical elements for clear, crisp images - Erect image diagonal so that your views are correctly oriented - Smooth functioning altazimuth mount with easy pointing to located objects - Quick and easy no-tool set up - The telescope and tripod fit inside the custom backpack for easy traveling and storage - Country of Origin: China ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001TI9Y2M | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,673 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2 in Catadioptric Telescopes | | Box Contents | Telescope | two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm), 45° erect image diagonal | 5x24 finderscope | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Fully Coated | | Compatible Devices | no | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 14,327 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 35 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Super Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.43 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 400 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234210355 | | Importer Contact Information | Celestron LLC | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 45.7D x 17.8W x 35.6H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Telescope | | Item Weight | 1.91 kg | | Manufacturer | Celestron, Celestron Acquisition, LLC 2835 Columbia St Torrance, CA 90503 | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Celestron Acquisition, LLC 2835 Columbia St Torrance, CA 90503 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 21035-CGL | | Model Name | Specialty Series | | Model Number | 21035 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Items | 4 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 70 Millimeters | | Optical Tube Length | 400 Millimeters | | Optical-Tube Length | 400 Millimeters | | Packer Contact Information | A&S Creations, 6/7, Ground Floor, West Patel Nagar New Delhi-110008 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Telescope Mount Description | Altazimuth Mount | | UPC | 050234210355 | | Unit Count | 4 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Years | | Zoom Ratio | 165 multiplier x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Model Name:** Specialty Series - **Optical Tube Length:** 400 Millimeters - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** Super Plossl - **Telescope Mount Description:** Altazimuth Mount ## Images ![Speciality Series Travel Scope 70 Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gFzfff3mL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: HI can we see planets with this, upto saturn at least ? Also, is this better or Celestron Powerseeker 60az (since it has longer focal length compared)** A: Dear Sir, this models are not suitable for your requirement, we need yo go for High end Models rather than this, Powerseeker 70 Az is suitable but in this refractor is less so if we required better view you go for Nextstar series in celestron **Q: Hello.i want another small light telescope for child and wife.please tell me which is better to see planets Celestron compact 70 mm,50 0r 50 az.** A: all have individual utilites , you can log on to celestron.com and decide one after analysing specs of all under celestron university . **Q: hi can u suggest which telescope would fine I want to see planets up to Jupiter and its moons with clarity.. thanks!** A: With "Celestron Speciality Series Travel Scope 70 Telescope" you can see moon clearly and Jupiter as well which will look lot bigger then a star but to see Jupiter's color and eye of storm you also need a better barlow lens along with telescope. **Q: can anyone suggest which barlow will go with this?** A: Celestron Ultima 2x Barlow or a Tele Vue 2x Barlow ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great telescope for kids and beginners *by K***Y on 11 July 2014* I bought this telescope for my 6 year old kid.

I thought this will help them in developing some interest other than TV. The product was delivered in time and the packaging was nice. The installation process too is easy. I tried 3-4 times in late night to observe moon and tried on stars too. To my disappointment this telescope failed to work. Even with cheap binoculars one can visualise distant objects easily but this product is really useless. I ordered for replacement hoping that new package shall work but it was same. I was not able to return the product as it is not returnable so wasted my money totally. I even tried to learn through YouTube and manual but failed to improve the results. I am planning to use this product as artefact in my drawing room ;) Will update the video review soon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron Travel Scope 70 Portable Refractor Telescope – 70mm Aperture, Fully-Coated Glass Optics – Includes Tripod, Backpack & Software – Ideal for Beginners & Travel - Celestron – Smartphone Photography Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Photos and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope Eyepiece - Celestron 94119-A 1.25 inch Moon Filter - Suitable for Lunar Observation, Extra Bright Planets or Terrestrial Viewing Over Sand or Snow, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/75882737-speciality-series-travel-scope-70-telescope](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/75882737-speciality-series-travel-scope-70-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
