I just bought one of these and blimey its amazing – I could easily see the craters on the Moon !! There are heaps and heaps of them ! First time I've ever looked through a telescope at the moon.

Amazing to an astronomical newb. For me its well worth the $50.

I found the 20mm lens easy to use but the 4mm lens was quite difficult to use – eventually got it working but quite difficult.

Bit disconcerting when I used it to look for parrots in the trees – everything was upside down.

Have got an idea that some of us make their own telescopes – is that right ?

What happens if I spend $200 ? Do I get something 4x better and start taking photos of horsehead nebula or is that a $2000 job ?

Hi Bill, have you had a look at some of the threads in the"related hobbies" section, you'll see some of Neil's astro photography.
