My 9 year ancient loved this gift. We have the telescope set up in the dining room looking out the window just so he can look out every night.

Excellent low-cost telescope for the kids
 
Review Date: January 11, 2009
Reviewer: Jason A. Cox, Valencia, CA USA
This is a decent entry level, low cost telescope fantastic for introducing the kids to star staring. Using the 50x eyepiece, a full moon fills the viewfinder, providing an exciting view for first time astronomers. The 3x viewfinder is caring but you will still need to tweak the aim for the main scope. The light weight tripod is a bit too flimsy and won't help your aiming efforts. Small hands will have problem keeping things stable, so steady-hand adult supervision/instruction is vital. You will also need to use the mirrored diagonal eye piece to get a excellent focus. The focal knob will not adjust enough to focus without the diagonal piece in place (a source of a lot of frustration if you didn't know it was needed).
