There's a reason this telescope also features in our guides for best budget telescopes under $500 and best telescopes for kids. The Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ offers a lot to like for such a low price point, not least because it comes with fully coated glass optics, meaning that views are clear for viewing and it avoids any 'false color.'
A 70mm aperture means enough light is able to pass through the lens, making your view of your night sky target bright enough to view, weather and conditions permitting. The focal length is 900mm meaning that this telescope is better suited to viewing the moon and other planets, rather than star clusters and nebulas.
If that wasn't enough to tempt you — there are plenty of extras that might. For your money, you also get two eyepieces to enhance your stargazing experience (20mm and 10mm), a fully collapsible tripod, a red dot finder scope, free access to Starry Night software to help you pinpoint and learn about night sky objects and a two-year warranty. All of that for under $150, now is a great time to bag a bargain.
