COMMENT FROM OUR EXPERT:
THIS TELESCOPE IS IDEAL TO APPROACH THE WORLD OF THE STARS AS IF IT WERE A TOY. OBSERVING THE MOON IS AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE EVEN WITH THE SMALLEST INSTRUMENTS. THE MOUNT ALSO ALLOWS TO MAKE TERRESTRIAL OBSERVATIONS. HOWEVER FROM TELESCOPES IN THIS PRICE RANGE YOU SHOULD EXPECT NOTHING EXCEPTIONAL.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE MAGNIFICATIONS: MANY ATTRIBUTE TO TELESCOPES OF THIS TYPE THE POSSIBILITY OF MAGNIFICATIONS OF 300X OR EVEN 600X. THEORETICALLY ALL TELESCOPES CAN REACH THIS MAGNIFICATION. BUT YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL! THE MAXIMUM USEFUL MAGNIFICATION IS THE ONE BEYOND WHICH THE OBJECTS CAN NO LONGER BE OBSERVED EVEN DISTINCTIVELY.

FOR CHILDREN THIS TELESCOPE IS STILL A VERY GOOD CHOICE. CHILDREN FROM 10 YEARS UP AND ADULTS WILL BUT HAVE GREATER SATISFACTION WITH A NEWTON MIRROR TELESCOPE SUCH AS. The OMEGON 114/900 EQ-1.

SOME BOOKS ARE ALSO USEFUL TO FIND YOURSELF IN THE SKY DURING THE FIRST EXPERIENCES. BOOKS THAT EXPLAIN WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN TO OBSERVE, ARE THE JAHRBÜCHER. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KOSMOS SKY YEARBOOK.
