The Gskyer 70mm is a small refracting telescope on an alt-azimuth mount, aimed at kids and first-time stargazers. Its 70mm aperture and 400mm focal length give clear views of the moon, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons, and the kit includes two eyepieces, a phone adapter, a wireless shutter remote and a carry bag. It is simpler and more portable than a reflector of similar size, but its small aperture limits deep-sky detail and the bundled tripod is light. Owners rate it highly as a starter scope for children.
