    3.0 out of 5 stars Warning about "empty magnification", 3 Feb 2009
    By An engineer (Edenbridge, UK) - See all my reviews
    No 60mm telescope can usefully magnify more than 120x so don't put any value on the claim of 525x. It will achieve that magnification, but it will show no more detail than if you use it at 120x. The two eyepieces supplied give magnifications of 56x and 175x so there is probably a 3x Barlow lens also supplied, which is best left unused.

    A telescope like this will typically show a lot of detail on the moon, almost nothing of Mars, a very little detail on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn (just), and will also split some double stars. It is not suitable for deep sky objects such as galaxies.

    I have not seen this model, but Tasco is an established brand so it probably works as it should, for the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tasco telescope review, 9 Mar 2009
    By water mark (Rutland) - See all my reviews
    Bought this for my 8yr old and he loves it - it's easy to focus and set up. I got a clear view of the craters on the moon. Yet to look further afield - so far so good!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent telescope., 6 Feb 2009
    By Mrs. Tracey Young "sky mum" (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This item was delivered in good time (with a very friendly delivery man, DHL I think!!)
    We love using our telescope, its easy to assemble and get ready to view everything skyward.
    Does not take up too much room and has an eye piece to find the objects easily. Buy it!!
