About this product
A simple, robust telescope for young skywatchers to learn more about the night sky. Includes an altazimuth mount to allow both vertical and horizontal rotation of the telescope. Large 50mm objective lens to view bright, luminous detail. Aluminium body and tripod. See the moon and its major craters in more detail. 20mm & 4mm eyepieces for 18X & 90X magnification.
Reach for the stars there's so much to see. The night sky is bursting with constellations, planets, moons, stars, satellites and even the odd comet shooting by it's truly spectacular.
This robust children's telescope is the ideal introduction for developing a lifelong interest in astronomy.
Its simple-to-use refractor design with a 50mm objective lens allows plenty of light to be collected, making it easier to see the far away detail of the brightly lit moon or luminous star clusters.
With the 20mm or 4mm eyepieces, you'll be able to see these celestial objects, and more, with 18X or an impressive 90X magnification!
It's highly versatile, and is ideal for travelling, camping and other stargazing opportunities where a compact, easy to use telescope is needed.

Don’t buy it!
If you’re looking for a telescope for your child please don’t buy this one. The telescope is very small, and worst then that you can’t see anything . My son wanted to look at the stars and was very disappointed because the telescope is basically a toy.

Nope
I don't know if we were doing something wrong but we couldn't see a thing through the lens.
