Hawkko 90mm Aperture 900mm Telescope for Adults High Powered - Professional Multi-Coated Refractor Telescope for Astronomy Beginners (36X-270X) with AZ Mount, Phone Adapter and Carry Bag

This is a great telescope. The image quality is impressive. Images of the moon and distant objects come out crisp, bright, and clear. Setup of this telescope was straightforward and took less than 15 minutes; all the accessories, including the phone adapter and sturdy tripod, were included in the kit. The tripod adjusts easily and feels stable. I was also able to capture great photos using my phone with the included phone mount. The kit is well thought out, complete with all the essential eyepieces and a convenient carry bag, which makes it truly portable. Overall, It’s a powerful, portable, easy to use telescope, and the quality for the price is great. Highly recommended!

I’ve been using the Hawkko 90/900 refractor for a bit now, and it’s a pretty solid telescope. It’s easy to use, easy to carry, easy to have a good time. The optics are actually better than I expected at this price point. With the 90 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length, you get nice, bright views of the Moon, and that’s where this thing really shines. Lunar observing is fantastic—craters pop, shadows have depth, and it’s the kind of view that makes you want to keep going back out at night. To my great pleasure you can even go on planetary adventures. You can definitely make out Jupiter’s cloud bands, which is a big milestone for a me. My skies have not cooperated with me to have a chance at Saturn, but based on my Jupiter experience I believe that the rings will be visible. Setup is straightforward. This is very much a “take it out, be observing in 15 minutes” kind of instrument. That’s a big plus if you don’t want to fight your gear before even looking through it. Overall, I’d say this: if you’re just getting into astronomy and want something simple that actually lets you see real detail, this is a decent pick. It’s especially great for the Moon and good enough to give you that “wow” moment with Jupiter.

This product is marketed as a good telescope for beginners. Does that hold up, or is it a “hobby killer”? Here are my thoughts: The first thing I noticed is that the telescope is compact and very portable. It comes with a great carrying case that holds the telescope, tripod and accessories bag (which holds the lenses, the finder-scope, and more). The case has a shoulder strap and sturdy handles and is easy to carry. You can pretty much fit everything you’d need for an evening of stargazing into that case. It turns out the scope works great. I tested it on the moon and saturn and was able to get clear views of both. It comes with a 1omm and 25mm lens, plus a 3x barlow (which triples the magnification of whatever lens you use). I’m usually a fan of red-dot finders instead of finder-scopes, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well the included finder-scope worked. Also included is a cellphone mount that allowed me to use my phone to take pictures including the photo of the moon included in my video. All of those items worked well enough for being basic accessories. The tripod is also quite sturdy, especially for being so light. I’m not used to that style of Alt/Az (tilt/pan) tripod, so it took me a bit to figure out how to lock the tilt. (Hint: read the instruction manual first. You’ll save a lot of time!) But once I had the hang of it, it worked great. As with any “beginner” equipment there are several upgrades that could be made: adding a red-dot finder, better lenses, upgrading the cellphone mount, etc. But for what this telescope costs, I was absolutely satisfied with the performance. Yes, you can spend more and get better accessories, but if you’re getting something for a young person who may or may not continue with the hobby, this is a solid investment that won’t break the bank.

Nice product. Quality is good for the price. A little hard to use and the clarity could use some improvement.

Excellent telescope for beginners. Bought for my son, and let him take reigns of putting it together. Read the instructions carefully before you think of actually using it at night. There is some configuration/setup that needs to occur during the day in order to get it as accurate as wanted. Nice for the price.

This is my second telescope, and it has been a joy to use. I was surprised by how well the telescope was built, with a healthy amount of metal. The tripod offers plenty of stability and comes with nice feet if you need to use it on grassy terrain. The included accessories were welcomed, and I appreciated the extra barrow lens for additional reach. Focusing the telescope was extremely easy and smooth, and the added mini-sight made lining up with the moon easy. The phone accessories are a nice touch for anyone wanting to snap a quick photo. Overall, I think it’s a great telescope to get started with, and I have been enjoying my time looking at the stars. Recommended as a gift for anyone, kids or adults, who has a budding interest in astronomy. As a bonus, when it's not in use, it looks great sitting in our great room, peering out the window. Note, the telescope is super clear, the image of the moon I included was taken during a super cloudy night which is why it appears a bit soft.

I bought this telescope for myself because I’ve always wanted to get into stargazing, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. The setup was really easy — the instructions were clear, and I had everything put together in under 15 minutes. Once I started using it, the image quality blew me away. The moon looks incredibly sharp, and I was even able to see Jupiter and its moons on my first clear night. The optics feel high-quality, and the views are much brighter and clearer than I expected at this price. The tripod is sturdy and doesn’t wobble, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to keep things steady. It also comes with multiple eyepieces and a phone holder, which actually works really well. Overall, this telescope is perfect for beginners or anyone getting back into astronomy. It feels like a great balance between price, quality, and ease of use. Definitely a 5-star purchase for me.

Great telescope for beginners and casual stargazing! Setup was straightforward and the tripod feels stable once everything is adjusted. I was initially worried i would knock the telescope over but the tripod has a piece you add for support and it really does make it very sturdy, the worry went away quickly. I also like that it comes with useful accessories like the phone adapter that easily fit my iPhone. Overall, it’s an excellent value and a fun way to explore the night sky. Highly recommend! —— Completely forgot to mention I absolutely love the fact that this is so easy to take with you on the go. It only takes a few minutes (if that) to set it up and it comes with a carrying bag where everything fits nicely.

Great packaging of the product I like is that it comes with a telescope bag, everything is labelled properly and clear instructions are provided in the booklet for assembling. Solid build and easy installation process for someone with zero telescope experience. It even comes with a multiple lens and phone adapter which makes it easier to use. It also provides an app that helps the users with stargazing. It’s an easy recommendation for families who like to go out so view at clear skies. Overall, had a fantastic experience with it and will learn a lot from it about the stars.

Nice easy to setup

A bit tricky to set up in all snow and white. But will try when i can take it out to someehere i can look 500 -1000 m.

This telescope lens are so clear even I can see the edge of moon. The moon was looking so huge and clear to me. It’s easy to assemble and comes with a booklet with instructions to install. I’m able to see the far away things. It also has a carry bag, to store and carry the telescope anywhere. It’s totally worth it.

I thought I bought a new telescope but the middle tripod is missing, this is sooo frustrating.. grrrrr and the I had to wipe it down cause it was dirty…
