Quantaray QT-80700 Table Top Telescope Review

Lee Spain writing over at Astromart shares his not-too-impressive comments about the relatively inexpensive Quantaray QT-80700 Table Top Telescope. 'This telescope is a small tabletop reflector similar in design to the Celestron Tabletop-76. It has an 80mm objective and a 700mm focal length. It came with Huygens-design 20mm and 6mm eyepieces and a long 18mm erecting eyepiece. It also came with the infamous and almost useless .965-inch 2x barlow.

The scope attaches to a small tabletop tripod via a single camera tripod mounting screw. Two knobs on the tripod allow the user to make fine aiming adjustments and a 5x24 right-angle finder is standard equipment. The entire kit fits in a small black zippered bag that is just a little larger than a large shoe-box. The tripod comes with its own small bag that should fit into a zippered compartment on the side of the telescope bag. Since we live in a relatively small apartment, I was pleased by the compact size of the telescope.'
