Get real about space exploration with this slick portable telescope
This portable telescope is a treat to budding space troopers, plus it comes with a smartphone eyepiece adapter to take pics of all the great ‘out of this world’ discoveries that you make
Promising reviews:
“I bought this as a gift for my son. I finally found something interesting to have his attention. He will keep saying Galileo when he saw the telescope. He knows Galileo always shows with a telescope in pictures of books. So easy to carry with you for the camping trip or another outdoor trip. Great to watch birds and other animals in this product. Image is clear. There are two different sizes of a lens. Choose the correct one depends on the distance of the observing object.”
“I bought this as a birthday gift for my 5-year-old son – his first foray into space. It is very easy to set up with the instructions, works well and it has the part to attach phone so we can take pictures. Comes with a backpack, scope, two different lenses and a tripod. Good starter telescope. Super happy with it
Buy it from Amazon for AED 427.
