It is decent as an astrophotographer and the magnification of this model is a strong 125 times enough to see rings of Saturn and stripes on Jupiter. The tripod it comes with is poor so I recommend getting a stand separately. Great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy . *by A***E on 25 October 2025* Decent scope.... ### ⭐⭐⭐ Unstable stand. *by C***P on 14 November 2025* Good value for money however, the stand/tripod let's it down badly. It is lightweight and unbalanced compared to the weight and size of the telescope itself, eg. If the telescope is positioned in a downwards tilt you do have to hold the tripod or it will topple. I have fitted a bungee to the middle of the stand and anchored ut to the ground with a camping peg to secure it, not the nicest of looks but solves the problem. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron - 50mm Travel Scope - Portable Refractor Telescope - Fully-Coated Glass Optics - Ideal Telescope for Beginners - Bonus Astronomy Software Package - 50 Things To See With A Telescope - Kids: A Constellation Focused Approach - National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, 2nd Edition (National Geographic Backyard Guides) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/65559804-celestron-21038-travel-scope-50-portable-refractor-telescope-kit-backpack](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/65559804-celestron-21038-travel-scope-50-portable-refractor-telescope-kit-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
