50mm Telescope - $12.96 Reg. $49.99 @ TSCC

[lincoln]

Hi Guys, I just grabbed one of these this afternoon in London. It's a really nice beginner set. For $13 you can't go wrong!
I've been keeping my eyes open for a cheap beginner to learn on before I make an investment of a 12" aperture dobsonian.
I'll give it a test this evening if we have some clear skies and let you guys know the results. Not a bad little toy.

It's a 50mm telescope not 500mm.. It's a pretty good price..

Hi,
Would this be stronger than a pair of binoculars?

Depends on the power. (See my post above yours) I've seen regular (not pro) binoculars easily go upto 30x ...

The professionals will always suggest to start with a good binocular over these cheap telescopes.

Depends on the size of the binoculars, but for $13 you can't go wrong..

I wonder if the eye piece removable? I'm hoping to use this with my digital camera to take pictures of the moon..

It has two eye piece lenses so its both 30x and 60x.

50mm aperture and 500mm length

Thanks.

The 50mm aperture looks like the weakest part of it. Still for this price, I shouldnt be complaining in the first place.

Definitely let us know the quality, and/or the coolness of what you see.

[comicbookguy]

so what will i actually be able to see with this? will it just be like using binoculars and looking at the moon?

Just picked one up. Thanks OP, this is a great deal.

I will test it out tonight as well. Hopefully the skies are clear.
