This review is from: Bushnell Voyager Sky Tour 60mm Reflector Telescope (Electronics)

I agree with comments here, so I'll make mine brief. If you are going to buy a telescope for a beginner, do NOT buy this one. I should have taken this back for a reflective telescope, but it was a gift to my daughter (not from me). Ease of use and brilliance of object is everything to a young astronomer. Get something recommended for surfing the planets. Don't trust the pictures on the box, or buy it for the gadgets. Also, light collection is more important than magnification.
