Product Description

When was your first gaze at the stars? Most astronomers trace their love of the night sky to a first look at Saturn through a telescope just like this one - a quality refracting telescope for land or sky viewing. Meade 70mm 70AZ AR Achromatic Refractor Telescope 04043 is an entry-level telescope that will let you see craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the cloud belts of Jupiter and its moons, plus countless star clusters, double stars, nebulas and more. Meade 70mm Refractor Telescope is great for family, kids and gifts.

This review is from: Meade 70AZ-A 70mm/2.8 inch Altazimuth Achromatic Refractor Telescope Kit (Office Product)
We have been using this product over a year now and here are the some major points to keep in mind.

1) Very good quality built product. Sturdy, starter lens are good enough if using to teach your kids how to look up Stars and Planets.
2a) Clarity of Lens is very good (note: Comes with 2 lenses). Not a high powered lens but good for the price.
2b) Very easy to read manual and detailed enough for starters. (If you feel you would like to explore more then get additional detailed print outs from the Internet or buy a guide on Planets and Stars.)
3) Little bulky, but powerful. There are new Meade's out there which are more compact with same size lens. That would be my next upgrade in couple of years. If you have money please feel free to upgrade.

Very good product for the money.
