It helps you learn about the night sky and plan your next observing session. Review: A great beginner scope with multiple uses for nature watchers and star gazers - Fantastic scope for beginners. Only let down by the tripod very wobbly and too light (get a decent camera tripod and use instead) and the finder scope isn't great (mine's so far unused deep in the backpack). The travel scope 80 is light, easily portable and quick to set up. You get two eyepieces 10mm and 20mm which are good for moon detail. Don't expect to see Hubble type telescope pictures of spiral galaxies, you'll never get that detail with this travelscope but it's a good starting point for moon gazing and getting to know the night sky better. It also has an adapter for astrophotography but I've not done this yet. It's also sold for daytime so you could use it for birdwatching but I've not tested this either. I can't wait until the end of summer and the nights drawing in. We live near Dartmoor so also looking forward to checking stars out from there! Overall it's a great piece of kit with a protective rucksack and a stargazing app (that doesn't work on iPads/iPhones but does work on Mac) I've not used this. I wrap my travelscope in bubble wrap to keep it extra safe in the backpack. There's a strap to keep it in place. I got this in the prime day sale and was impressed by the value. Review: Nice and easy - Great telescope for travel. Let’s in plenty of light for clear viewing without eye strain. Just the job but I would recommend using a metal head stand for smoother control. Personally I placed a padded lens box in the backpack where the original stand was. All round, a good product. ## Features - ALL-IN-ONE TELESCOPE KIT: The Celestron 80mm Travel Scope features fully-coated glass optics, a potent 80mm objective lens, and a lightweight frame - POWERFUL EYEPIECES FOR UP-CLOSE VIEWING: Our telescope for astronomy beginners is equipped with two eyepieces (20mm and 10mm) that provide low- and high-power views, which means you can observe celestial objects at night and land-based objects during the day - BONUS BAG AND TRIPOD: This Celestron telescope and full-height tripod can be taken anywhere in the included travel backpack - PANNING HANDLE: Alt-Az manual control with clutch for smooth and accurate pointing - STARRY NIGHT SOFTWARE: Download Celestron’s Starry Night Software and learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07J15P2N3 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,526 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 4 in Telescopes | | Box Contents | 20mm and 10mm Eyepiece, Mount and tripod (preassembled), Optical tube | | Brand | Celestron | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | Fully Coated | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,721 Reviews | | Dawes Limit | 1.45 Arc Sec | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 4 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Eye piece lens description | Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.7 Degrees | | Finderscope | Built-on StarPointer™ red dot finderscope | | Focal Length Description | 457.2 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234220309 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 32.3D x 57.2W x 14.2H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Telescope | | Item Weight | 2.04 kg | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 22030 | | Model Name | Travel Scope 80 with Backpack & Smartphone Adapter | | Model Number | 22030 | | Model name | Travel Scope 80 with Backpack & Smartphone Adapter | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 80 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 80 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 457 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 457 Millimetres | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Large Aperture, Fully Coated Optics, Portable Design, Includes Backpack, Smartphone Adapter, and Software | | Telescope mount description | Altazimuth Mount | | UPC | 050234220309 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Zoom Ratio | 2 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** Plossl - **Finderscope:** Built-on StarPointer™ red dot finderscope - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** Travel Scope 80 with Backpack & Smartphone Adapter - **Objective lens diameter:** 80 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 457 Millimetres - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 32.3D x 57.2W x 14.2H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Altazimuth Mount ## Images ![Travel Scope 80 Portable Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SMnWm2BAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I can see lots in the specifications but I I can't see the dimensions of the actual scope. It looks very small in the last image.** A: Hi, check on google and also watch videos on YouTube on actual model you are interested in. It’s how I selected my telescope. Good luck **Q: Does it come with 2X Barlow lens as pictured?** A: Yes **Q: Is anybody would recommend that telescope for 5 years old, please? Looking for a good quality telescope for 5 years old boy.** A: We’ve bought it for our 5 year old- it is definitely better than a children’s one especially with the phone attachment that makes it easier for children this age to actually use it. Our daughter hasn’t seen it yet as it is a Christmas present but we did try it ourselves and it is a decent telescope. The tripod is light si could easily be knocked over but it does come with a hook where you can hang something heavy to make it more stable. All in all we are pleased with it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great beginner scope with multiple uses for nature watchers and star gazers *by S***6 on 5 August 2026* Fantastic scope for beginners. Only let down by the tripod very wobbly and too light (get a decent camera tripod and use instead) and the finder scope isn't great (mine's so far unused deep in the backpack). The travel scope 80 is light, easily portable and quick to set up. You get two eyepieces 10mm and 20mm which are good for moon detail.

Let’s in plenty of light for clear viewing without eye strain. Just the job but I would recommend using a metal head stand for smoother control. Personally I placed a padded lens box in the backpack where the original stand was. All round, a good product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get a better tripod. *by G***Z on 3 January 2025* So this Travel Scope 80 was bought for my daughter that wanted to take up astronomy as a hobby. This is a good starting telescope or has been for her and she still uses it. However this is a hobby that takes a bit of a steep learning curve so don't be put off too fast. However ditch the tripod it is crap and not very stable. Get a photography one or a survivors one. With this scope you will see Jupiter, its moons and some of the bands. On a very good night the red spot but don't expect tons of quality. It will be faint. Saturn is visible with and you can make out the rings but no ring devisions. It can do some AstroPhotography just keep your expectations realistic as this is a huge skill to learn that takes a lot of time and research and can get expensive getting a good camera for it. The images I posted with this review show what it can do with time and patents. the first one is the moon using the 10mm eyepiece and an IPhone 12. The second is the Orion nebula again with 10mm and iPhone the third is again the Orion nebula but taken with a much better DSLR camera and around 40 stacked images. So not a bad gateway scope. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron - 80mm Travel Scope - Portable Refractor Telescope - Fully-Coated Glass Optics - Ideal Telescope for Beginners - Bonus Astronomy Software Package - Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter - Celestron – Telescope Moon Filter – Eyepiece Accessory – Reduces Moon Glare and Enhances Lunar Crater Details – Great for Full Moon Observing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces - Celestron Omni 1.25" 2X Barlow Lens, Multi, Model Number: 93326 --- ## 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.com.eg/products/223909372-travel-scope-80-portable-telescope](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/223909372-travel-scope-80-portable-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
