EMS83 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I asked for this for Christmas. I tried it out a couple of times trying to view the moon, but it was kind of fuzzy. All I was doing was following the little instruction booklet because this is an area that sails over my head. Does anyone know or can anyone tell if this is decent or worthless? Do I need to just keep playing with it? And what telescopes have you used that you would recommend? Thanks for any insight and input.

EMS83 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Anyone? Take pity on a complete non-science-geek. I was an English major. Telescopes are :confused1: . :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 We have used those in the links below at night sky parties but we don't own any. I like the Orion Astroview 120ST-EQ Refractor. http://www.sjaa.net/loaners.shtml http://www.sfaa-astr...elescope_loans/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
