Any astronomers on here?
I'm after a bit of advice please gents. My eldest has asked for a telescope to look at the moon but I don't want to spend more than £50 as she will more than likely get bored as soon as she has had one look at it
Can anybody point me in the direction of a half decent scope that will let her see the moon in a bit of detail? I know it's not going to be great for £50 but I don't want a plastic piece of garbage that doesn't work and I haven't got a clue what to look for when it comes to telescopes

If its just for the moon a good pair of binoculars works a treat.
And lets face it they have other uses .... When Hale Bop was in the sky for a few months years ago my bins gave excellent views. Last edited by FLYER; 19th October 2016 at 08:01.. |

I use my binoculars for watching birds
