Product Description

Here is our best value, full-featured telescope. This simple to assemble and easy to use refractor telescope will amaze and astonish you with its outstanding views of the Moon, Saturn's Rings and plenty of deep-space objects such as the Beehive star clusters, the Orion Nebulae and binary star systems. Sporting a 50mm objective lens and a long 600mm focal length, this telescope can achieve magnifications from 30x to 75x using the two included eyepieces. Also included is a full-sized aluminum tripod with an altazimuth mount, making it simple for you to "point-and-shoot" within 5 minutes of opening the box. This fantastic telescope is great for bird watching, mountain gazing, and is perfect for high-rise apartment dwellers who want to scan the city. There is no better telescope value than our great 50mm refracting telescope! The aluminum tripod is fully adjustable and allows even taller people to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. Yet, the tripod is ultra-light weight, making it easy for kids to handle. The altazimuth mount is our easiest to use. Not only can the telescope be assembled and disassembled in minutes, but you can quickly and easily scan the skies (or the Earth) for the objects you are looking for. Because the included paper instructions offer limited guidance, we provide buyers with an online full-color photograph, step-by-step assembly guide so you'll be up and running without having to struggle with a complex assembly diagram.

This review is from: Silver TwinStar AstroMark 50mm 75x Power Refractor Telescope (Toy)

We purchased this for my 5 year old and my husband to use together. The directions for assembly and use were terrible; there was a little picture we had to interpret & the picture on the outside of the box (which didn't match the direction picture.) We haven't been able to see anything except the grass 10ft in front of the scope. The directions didn't explain how to or when to use the extra lenses. It also seems very flimsy. It's obvious we don't know much about telescopes or we would have spent a lot more to get a really good one. We just wanted one my son could use to look at the moon and maybe see some stars. We will be returning this and making sure we find the reviews on the next one BEFORE we purchase.
