Digital camera reviews of BARSKA 40070 Starwatcher Compact Refractor Telescope with Table Top Tripod And Carrying Case
Digital camera Review: Barske 70x400mm focal length review
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall it's not too bad.
I was looking for 300-400mm focal length range for guide scope.
This one seems to be right on that criteria.
Besides, there were 2x m5 tapped hole on the mounting block for anyone who like to mount this on flat surface. Actually , it served me good as well.
Those of you who have used 3 screws for mounting&adjusting may know that it's not so easy; it may even be pain to use 3 screw adjusting system, because it's extremely sensitive.
Optical quality is not too bad, especially for this price range.
Overall performance is good; I liked focal lenth and mounting block with 2x m5 tapped hole for easy mounting on flat surface.
However, I hoped that the finder scope was replaced by red dot finder.
Tabletop tripod was just ok, but even without it, item was worth buying.
But, I wanted to ask maker of this to replace the 6x25 finderscope with red dot finder, please.
Because , the small aperture 25mm scope is almost next to useless.
Overall, it's good if not quite good.
