Dianfan Telescope,90mm Aperture 800mm Telescopes for Adults Astronomy,Portable Professional Refractor Telescope for Beginners,with Stainless Tripod & Phone Adapter,Carry Bag

Well packed, nice clear guide, relatively easy assembly (took me 15-20 minutes for initial assembly, another 5 or so outside to tweak the sighting scope). Seems like a solid bargain for the price, more details below. This is my first telescope, so I can't compare to others. It feels like the times are thin metal whereas most if the ends, etc are plastic. Glass lenses. Everything came neatly packed and wrapped into the carry case, inside a cardboard box, inside another cardboard box. Considering some components are I think somewhat fragile, this seemed like the right amount of packaging. Some of the adjustments on the tripod feel a bit stiff to me compared to some of my camera tripods, but feels like decent construction. Used it outside tonight for the first time. Inside town with nearby lights, but clear skies. Located I think Jupiter, but it just looked like a bright dot to me ;) Much better results looking at the moon where I was able to tell what I was doing with the focus and get a nice beautiful sharp image. The moon was very high in the sky and I had to sit on the ground to use it, but well worth it. I was only using the 25mm eyepiece this time as it was my first try. Going to try out the phone adapter for pictures next time, then maybe another time the 3x Barlow lens and 10mm eyepiece to see if I can get a better view of a planet. The top mount for a phone was handy for using an app to quickly locate planets/constellations/etc (I tried the recommended Stellarium app this time).

This Dianfan telescope is an absolute win for anyone diving into astronomy — whether you’re a wide-eyed beginner or a backyard stargazer looking to upgrade from the toy-level stuff. Right out of the box, it looks and feels professional. The stainless steel tripod is sturdy, the scope itself is well-built, and the whole setup is intuitive and satisfying to assemble. Once aligned, this 90mm aperture with 800mm focal length delivers some truly sharp views. I was able to see crisp details on the Moon’s surface that felt almost surreal — craters, shadows, and even a hint of texture. Saturn’s rings? Visible. Jupiter’s moons? Yep, those too. It’s not just hype — this thing delivers real celestial payoff. The included eyepieces (10mm and 25mm) are great for switching between wide-field and close-up views, and the phone adapter is a genius touch — within minutes, I was snapping moon photos that looked like they came from a much pricier rig. Even the carry bag is a plus for portable stargazing nights. What really makes this telescope shine is how approachable it is. No tech snags, no complex calibration — just clear directions and a fun, frustration-free setup that lets you spend more time looking up than looking clueless. Final Verdict: If you’re ready to dip into astronomy or upgrade from a cheap scope, the Dianfan telescope hits the sweet spot between user-friendly and impressive.

The Dianfan Refractor Telescope is an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned astronomy enthusiasts. Its combination of user-friendly features and high-quality optics makes it a standout in its category. I was pleasantly surprised by how beginner-friendly this telescope is. The instructions were clear, and I had everything assembled and ready to go in under 20 minutes—no tools required! The altazimuth mount was intuitive, and I felt comfortable adjusting it right away. My daughter is completely new to astronomy, however this telescope has made her entry into stargazing not just easy, but absolutely magical. Image quality is fantastic, I was able to see the craters on the moon in amazing detail. The 90mm aperture really brings in a lot of light, and paired with the 800mm focal length, the images are sharp and clear. One of my favorite parts is the smartphone adapter that comes included. I attached my phone in minutes and was able to take photos of the moon that actually looked great! It’s been so fun to share those pictures with friends and family. The stainless steel tripod is super solid and doesn’t wobble like I feared it might. Plus, the carrying bag makes it easy for me to take the telescope to a nearby park for clearer skies. Everything fits inside neatly, so it's perfect for beginners like me who might not have a dedicated setup space at home. This telescope has honestly exceeded my expectations. I’m now spending more evenings under the stars and learning more every time I use it. If you're a beginner wondering where to start, I highly recommend the Dianfan 90mm. It’s opened up a whole new hobby for me! I have included a few pics for reference.

As a beginner to telescopes, I was a bit nervous about picking the right one, but this one turned out to be an great choice! The setup was way easier than I expected, and the instructions were super clear. The views through this telescope are incredible—I was able to see craters on the moon in so much detail. The different eyepieces and the 3X Barlow lens helped me zoom in and get different views, which was really fun to experiment with. The tripod is sturdy, and the smartphone adapter makes it easy to take pictures of what I see. I’m so happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a great telescope for stargazing! Very reasonable price as well!

It was true to the description.. sturdy and great item

It arrived on time, excellent service.

WOW! I’m an amateur astrophotographer and have been debating on what kind of telescope to get for a while. A friend suggested this one, and I was impressed with their opinion and the price point. I recommend this telescope for anyone of any age looking for a casual scope, or for applied cases like astrophotography, you really cannot go wrong. This telescope performs equally to one of the $800ish models I was considering that another friend has. This has me thinking perhaps I have been lead to believe brand name = better, but this telescope proves that is not the case. I was immediately impressed with the quality of packaging and the carrying case. Upon unboxing I was so pleased to see that there is a compartment for the main body of the scope and the tripod - this isn’t always the case, I have been in stargazing experiences and people have multiple packs for the tripod and telescope, one case is a huge bonus! The tripod is of the highest quality! I am so impressed with the workmanship and materials! It is a fantastic weight, it’s not too light, but it not so heavy that it would be cumbersome to carry long distances if needed. Ideal for withstanding breezy nights or days if that’s what you’re into. The scope is excellent. Setup was quick, I didn’t read the instructions until it came to the phone mount. The body attaches to the tripod with quality metal parts. I was quite pleased again that there was so much attention to workmanship and detail. I used 3x Barlow lense and the 25mm eye piece with the phone adapter to capture some quick images of the moon and play with the telescope. My phone is an iPhone 15 Pro Max and the images were taken with my 48mm lense, raw with no adjusted settings or night mode. I’m quite pleased with the quality of the images, and was surprised that the mount could withstand the weight and size of my 15 Pro Max! My husband decided to come have a peak at the moon with the telescope, and his first impression was awe. The clarity and detail we were able to see from the moon were outstanding. 10/10 impressed with this scope! I look forward to continued use. I will update this review with images of other planets when I have more time to play 🙂 I’m over the moon impressed with this telescope from Dianfan, I was looking for a scope I could use with my phone and they have saved me hundreds without causing me to sacrifice quality. Thanks Dianfan!

The cost was a factor in buying this scope and it hasn’t disappointed. Seems pretty sturdy and optics are clear and objects well magnified. It’s a good first scope at reasonable cost. Happy with purchase
