It includes the optical tube assembly (the telescope), a mount/tripod, three eyepieces and a 3X barlow. This is an entry level 80 mm short focal length refractor telescope/spotting scope package. My review is based on this background and is a fair and honest assessment of the package both for daytime use as a spotting scope and as a night time astronomical telescope.

I am not an employee of Gskyer, I am an astronomy hobbyist. This is a review of the Gskyer 80 mm refractor telescope.

Overall I am pretty pleased with the purchase and fully intend to keep using it regularly and hopefully, I'll remember to post updates as I get more accomplished in it’s use. My next step will be trying to find something specific (a planet or something) and not just pointing at random lights in the sky! I took it out into my back garden and unfortunately my first night was a little cloudy so it was a bit of a struggle to find something worth looking at, however, setting up the sighting scope against a neighbour’s satellite dish did the trick and eventually I was able to get a clear view of a couple of stars and once I found them, focussing was pretty simple. It has a pretty robust feel to it and comes with a variety of lenses so that you can view whatever you are looking at with different magnifications. As other reviewers have noted I do think it would benefit from a guide or something to accompany it, however, a quick search online gives you all sorts of information so that’s definitely not essential. The build of the telescope was pretty simple, nice clear diagrams showing the process in a step by step manner. The reviews on the Gskyer AZ80400 seemed pretty decent all round so I thought I would give it a try. I’ll start of this review by firmly stating that I am not a star gazer and have absolutely no experience of or knowledge of astronomy, I just thought it would be interesting to give it a go and I didn’t want to shell out huge amounts of money to do so.
