Ian from buyatelescope.co.uk reviews the Celestron Astromaster 70AZ Telescope

Ian has been active in the UK telescope market for over 25 years in one way or another, we are pleased to have them on the team.

My first impression was that there was not a great deal of difference between this and all the other telescopes out there. I was not happy with the overall quality of this telescope. It does not look like it has been manufactured to the highest standard. The scope is OK for looking at objects such as the Moon and Mars on a clear night but you are limited by the low magnification.
A few modifications and a small redesign and Celestron could sell a lot more of these telescopes. Really this is an average telescope but with a score of 6 there are probably more highly recommended telescopes available.
