REVIEW & INFO

Honest review and information

I am an avid astronomy enthusiast and have always been on the lookout for a good quality, budget-friendly telescope for my family. Among the numerous options available in the market, the GEREFEREN Telescope for Astronomy Beginners (16X-120X) caught my eye for its attractive price point and features. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say that this is an excellent telescope for beginners and offers great value for money.

The first thing that impressed me about the GEREFEREN telescope is how easy it is to set up. With no additional tools needed, assembling the telescope can be done in a matter of minutes. This feature is especially helpful if you are new to astronomy and not confident with fiddling around with a lot of equipment. It also makes the telescope a good option for children who are interested in exploring the wonders of the universe.

The telescope comes equipped with a lot of great features, but what stood out to me was the high quality of the optics. The 400mm(f/5.7) focal length and 70mm aperture make for excellent light gathering capabilities, which is crucial when it comes to getting clearer images of celestial objects. The lens is fully coated with high transmission coatings that help reflect less light, resulting in brighter images.

The GEREFEREN telescope also comes with two eyepieces (H25mm and H10mm) as well as a 3X Barlow lens, which trebles the magnifying power of each eyepiece. This allows for a magnification range of 16X to 120X, making the telescope suitable for observing a wide range of objects from nearby planets to far-off galaxies. The telescope also comes with a 5x24 finder scope which makes it easy to locate objects, even for novice astronomers.

One of the factors that make the GEREFEREN telescope a great option for beginners is its adjustable aluminum alloy tripod. The tripod allows for a wide range of viewing positions and can be adjusted to suit observers of different heights. It is also light and easy to carry around, which makes it convenient for people who want to take their telescope camping or to remote locations for stargazing.

The GEREFEREN telescope also comes with a handy carrying bag that can fit both the telescope and tripod, making it easy to transport and store. The bag is well-constructed and comes with a sturdy strap that makes it easy to carry around.

While I am generally very pleased with the GEREFEREN telescope, there are a few drawbacks that prospective buyers should be aware of. Firstly, the tripod mount can sometimes be wobbly, which can be problematic when trying to view objects that require a lot of stability. However, this can be easily resolved by tightening the screws on the mount.

Another minor issue is the quality of the phone adapter that comes with the telescope. While it can be useful for taking pictures with a smartphone, the adapter can be a bit flimsy and require some fiddling to get the camera aligned properly. Again, this is a minor issue that can be easily resolved.

In conclusion, the GEREFEREN telescope for Astronomy Beginners is an excellent telescope that offers great value for its price point. It is easy to set up, comes equipped with high-quality optics, and offers a wide range of magnification options. The adjustable tripod and carrying bag make it convenient to use and transport, while the 30-day money-back guarantee and 365-day replacement policy offer peace of mind to buyers. If you are a beginner or have kids who are interested in astronomy, I highly recommend considering the GEREFEREN telescope.
