From: Nils Allen, Astro-Club Education Director

i would strongly suggest that you consider what we amateur astronomers call a 'real' scope - this meade model has too many limitations. a better choice all-round is orion's skyquest xt4.5 or xt6 (really nice) or even one of their starblast models [oriontelescopes.com] with one of those and a half-decent starchart i promise you will see more of the heavens!

i am a newbie here and want to give something to my 10 year old son that is somewhat worthwhile!
thanks
