Overview
At 90mm aperture and 700mm focal length, this refractor sits at a useful entry point for new astronomers. The f/7.8 focal ratio works well for lunar and planetary viewing, where you will see meaningful surface detail on the Moon and be able to split brighter double stars. Fully multicoated optics help maximize light transmission, which matters on a scope in this price range.
The three Super Kellner eyepieces (25mm, 10mm, and 6mm) paired with a 3x Barlow give you a practical magnification range from 28x up to around 350x, though the upper end of that range will push past what the optics can realistically resolve cleanly. Expect sharp, usable views in the 50x to 150x range for most targets. The lightweight aluminum tripod and 2kg total weight make this genuinely portable, and the included phone adapter lets you try basic afocal astrophotography.
The 5x24 finder scope is modest but functional for locating bright objects. At just under $117 with a 4.3-star rating across 28 reviews, this is a reasonable starter scope for adults or older children who want a real optical instrument rather than a toy, without a large financial commitment.

Super easy to set up and works great for beginners. The image quality is clear, especially for the moon. The tripod is stable, and the phone adapter is a nice touch for taking pictures. My kids enjoy using it, and it’s been fun for the whole family. Overall, a great telescope for the price.
This Vilupvie 90mm refractor is fantastic. The 90mm aperture + fully coated lenses deliver bright, sharp views – moon craters and Jupiter’s moons look stunning, even from my light-polluted backyard. Saturn’s rings were clearly visible on the first night! Comes with three good Kellner eyepieces (25mm...
Space X is creating history - and my niece has been so excited about the space ships. This serves as a great gift to him - to sneak peak the great universe, before he someday eventually go there and see for himself. The quality is representable, the moon surface looks so close and clear - definitely...
