StarQuest 60AZ-DE Telescope

Rating:
Summary: Excelent for the beginner
Review: Bought the telescope for a grandchild. A bit heavy for a child so dad will need to help. Optics are very good for the price so it will used along time before you graduate to the next level. Be sure to also purchase a entry level book to fully enjoy it. If better doccumtation was included this product would be a "5" in terms of value.

Summary: Avoid this product - This is a piece of junk. :-(
Review: This "telescope" (more appropriate to call it a "big black stick) is of very poor quality. It is flimsy, the optics are VERY poor, and the tripod (not a standard tri-pod fitting) could be easily replaced by a pile of cold noodles and it would give about the same support. This item was sent to me in a box that wasn't even taped shut. The enclosed CD was literally cracked in two. To top it all off, NO MANUAL was provided so I had to decipher how the multiple pieces fit together by looking at the picture on the box (nothing like having to spend extra time & frustration to find out that it was a piece of garbage!) I'm going to have to return this now. Steer clear of this brand (and the seller, and the low-cost line of telescopes found here in general).
