1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all Costs!, August 18, 2005
This scope is not a good starter scope for anyone interested in astronomy. Here's why:

1. The objective is too small, only 60 mm, 2.36 inches, so it is too small to bring in the light necessary for even a beginning look at the universe. I suppose it is adequate for the moon, but that is it. The planets will appear as very small disks. One will be able to see Saturn's rings, but the image will be very small. Forget it for deep sky objects, clusters, galaxies, etc.

2. The mount is an altazimuth, which will not follow the celestial object in the sky. The earth is rotating, and anyone focusing on a star or moon will quickly find the object drifting out of the field of vision. A better mount is an equatorial mount which makes it much easier to track objects.

3. The mount will vibrate when touched, which will cause the image in the eyepiece to "shiver", which is very frustrating.

Even for the low price, don't be enticed by this scope; it has too many flaws. Save your money for a larger scope with a better mount.

2.0 out of 5 stars 470x magnification, December 21, 2005
Advertising that this telescope can operate at 470x magnification is misleading, to put it kindly. Common rules of thumb in astronomy would recommend this telescope good for up to about 120x (50x per inch of lens diameter) maximum on a night of stable sky conditions.
