Our take on the Redsmile 70mm Aperture 300mm Refractor Telescope

The Redsmile 70mm Refractor is a beginner telescope with a 70mm lens and a short 300mm focal length, giving a fast f/4 ratio. It is aimed at first-time skywatchers and comes with magnification from 20x to 150x. At $59.97 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of what a 70mm refractor costs.

Questions and answers

Is the Redsmile 70mm telescope worth it for a beginner?
Yes, if you want a cheap first scope for the Moon and bright planets. It is not a serious deep-sky instrument.
Can it really reach 150x?
It can be set up for 150x, but a 70mm f/4 lens gets dim and soft that high. Around 50x to 100x is the practical range.
What can I see with a 70mm refractor?
Craters on the Moon, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, and bright star clusters. Faint galaxies and nebulae are out of reach.
Does it need collimation?
No. Refractors are fixed and stay aligned, so there is nothing to adjust.
What comes in the box?
Expect the optical tube, a tripod, eyepieces and a finder. Check the listing for exact eyepiece sizes before buying.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $59.97 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026. Holiday and back-to-school periods are when starter scopes usually drop.
Where is the Redsmile 70mm Aperture 300mm Refractor Telescope cheapest?
At Walmart, for $59.97, as of our latest check.
