Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Meade Rb-60 / 70055Lf 60Mm A-Series Altazimuth Refractor Telescope
Customer Review: Perfect for any young astronomer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this telescope this past December as a Christmas present for my 10 year old sister. She had always wanted a telescope so she could sit on the grass at night, staring at the stars. As she is in no way looking to become an astronomer, and we knew the telescope would be nothing more than a novelty for her, I was searching for something inexpensive, yet sturdy. In the past the telescopes she has received were purchased for around fifty dollars at a toy store, only to be opened up and found not to work and to fall apart within a few days. After doing some research online this telescope seemed to be the best option - as the price and reviews all screamed positive!
I placed my order and received the product within 7 days, on standard shipping. After my sister opened up the package we tested it out, and it worked great. The features on it are limited, but that's perfect for an amateur astronomer. We get a clear view of the skies, and since December it's been taken out at least once a week for some fun entertainment.
We've used the CD that came with it to pull up a map of the skies, and have tried to find some specific objects. While it did take some time, we did find some planets and constellations. We are not space enthusiasts however, and just looking through the eyepiece is enough enjoyment for us.
I'd recommend this product for anyone who just wants to see the stars and moons and planets at night! As long as you aren't looking to...measure star sizes, discover a new planet, or find aliens floating around up there, I can safely say that you won't be disappointed.
