What a telescope!! - Review by George C
Overall Score
Bought this for myself for christmas :P package arrived last week but finally got to try it tonight (28-12-11), found jupiter and once i played around with the focus and centred the planet and it's moons on the wide angle lens, decided to try the 10mm lens. after some refocusing and what not, the finest of details emerged. don't get me wrong the wide angle lens showed great detail but the 10mm focused just blew my mind. can't wait to find saturn over the next few days! if you can afford it, buy it, and then prepare for your mind to be blown! 10/10 (Posted on 28/12/11)
