Quick update from my last review, following some advice, I adjusted the two small Allen key grub screws either side of the focuser locking thumb screw and eliminated all the slop in the focuser. 30 second job, now an utter joy! (21/12/2023) Minto - Still in the dog house!
Really enjoying this scope, so far seen Jupiter and it's 4 Galelean moons, and honed in on the sword of Orion for a belter of a view of the nebular wow! The focuser tube does have a lot of latteral play, but works well anyway. Supplied eyepieces are OK too. Harrison's havbeen great, answering Qs etc (17/12/2023) Minto - In the dog-house
First class service from Harrisons Telescopes The Skywaycher refractor is easy to set up. Viewing from my back yard is not ideal ( street lights ). Finding a dark area and I think this scope would make for great viewing. Harrisons Telescopes are second to none for their great service, everything I've ordered has been delivered next day. Awesome (07/09/2023) Richard Thompson - Ryton
Great small telescope and delivery The setting up instructions were easy to follow so the telescope was ready to use in 30 mins. On the first night took images of the quarter moon. Then observe Mars then Jupiter and it's moons at 200x magnification with the aid of a x2 Barlow lens. (30/01/2023) Gary Warnes - Cheam, Surrey

Great telescope and fast delivery Got this as my first telescope and I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase. Very easy to set up and use.

SkyWatcher Startravel 120mm AZ3 Refractor Telescop Telescope arrived very well packaged, it feels & looks of good quality. The cost difference between this scope and other lesser scopes makes this one real value. It looks great too. I'd thoroughly recommend Harrison's for their speedy & helpful service. I look forward to purchasing from them again (29/11/2019) Janet O - Lingfield
Skywatcher startravel AZ3 Just recieved the above telescope which arrived very fast indeed Easy to set up and use wlth really good results, well worth the money and have no hesitation with recommending Harrison Telescopes to anyone, will also continue to buy extra accessories too.

Perfect entry level scope! I know nothing about using a telescope and have probably upset those that are passionate about the hobby by referring to it as a ‘scope’. Delivery was prompt (next day) and setting up the acope and tripod was a doddle and I was up and running (spying) within 45 minutes. (17/08/2018) paDsy - Hampshire
Great service and a great telescope I ordered the Skywatcher Startravel 120mm AZ3 on the 18th and received it the very next day. Tried it out that evening and spotted Jupiter plus three moons! Not bad for a first attempt. I have also used it for terrestrial viewing with good results. Good value for money. (24/04/2017) Viv - Cornwall
Very impressive telescope I love refractors - this is nearly a 5" and shows the Messier objects extremely well, very portable and simple. The terrestrial prism works great for long distance observation fully corrected. (01/02/2017) Malcolm White - BUCKS
