A beginner refractor on a manual altazimuth mount, with two eyepieces for casual sky viewing. It has no motor or tracking, so objects drift out of view as the sky turns.

A beginner refractor with three eyepieces, a Barlow lens and phone mounting gear. Aiming is manual, and the high magnification figure should be treated as a maximum claim.

A large aperture reflector on a manual equatorial mount with a phone adapter, moon filter and bag. The mount takes a little learning, and the listing does not describe the eyepieces beyond the type.

A beginner refractor kit with a tripod, two eyepieces and a Barlow lens. Details of the glass coatings and the maximum useful magnification are not given.

A beginner refractor kit that comes with a backpack, phone adapter and stickers. The contents listing names only the telescope, so a tripod is not confirmed.

A long refractor kit with three eyepieces, a tripod, a phone adapter and a carrying bag for beginners. The top magnification is a headline figure that the aperture and sky conditions will rarely support.

A beginner telescope in a purple finish, packed with a tripod, backpack, phone adapter and stickers. The listing gives limited detail on the eyepieces and the optical design.

A pocket-class smart telescope that aims itself and is run from a phone app. The small lens limits it to bright targets, and battery runtime is unstated.

A beginner telescope kit that adds a folding stool for the observer. The stool is for short sessions only, and the listing does not name the optical design.

A refractor kit with two eyepieces, a Barlow lens, a zenith mirror and a waterproof backpack for beginners. The listing does not state a warranty or the field of view.
