  • What a great gift Idea,looks like a great little telescope for the price

    Did you read the review in your link ?

    ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.
    Tiny. Avoid! It is the size of a can of coke. And does not even reach out to 50 meters.

    • Dimensions: 31.24 x 30.48 x 7.37 centimeters

      • Alright! Change it to a bottle of coke then:P

        • The dimensions probably include the stand.

    Here's another review

    DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
    Average rating:1 out of 5stars, based onreviews by Ellierose
    Spend your $20 on a better model/brand! It is great for little hands but you can't see a THING!!!! Wouldn't even focus on a tree in our front yard so forget about the moon & stars. Waist of time & money what a disappointment to my 6 year old & myself :( We are returning it ASAP & getting a better one

      i have no idea what the quality is like but i think astronomy telescopes are designed to focus on things far far away and not near-field objects

        astronomy telescopes are designed to focus on things far far away and not near-field objects

        It either focus, or it doesn't. If it doesn't focus, the lenses are either crap or not aligned properly.

      • haha.. Yeah good point! They are designed for viewing far far away… don't know why the reviewer would use it to focus trees in front yard which is probably less than 10 metres….

    • agree

      Yes, a machiavellian choice.
      Great match for kids you truly don't like yet are obligated to buy gifts for.
      Looks good on the day, but sure to disappoint.

        Great match for kids you truly don't like

      The Smithsonian Gold Dig is suitable for children aged 8 and up.

      • The reference was for gold diggers not for child brides which does occur in Australia although it is by force not choice

        Your username is the reason you wouldn't understand but it does leave out the six and seven year old brides.

    For $99.99 get the National Geographic 76/700 EQ from Aldi.

    • or get this…

      It costs a bit more, but the quality is good enough to get them interested in astronomy…

    • Actually the National Geographic looks like good value…
