Exactly what we were looking for

(5 out of 5) by Robin J on Jan 9, 2007
Perfect first telescope--and not just for kids--I bought this for my husband who has always talked about getting one but we never wanted to shell out too much $. This was the perfect solution. It looks "cool" (apparently a hit with my husband and boys!) and has already been getting many trips outside to get a good look at the stars and moon!

Good starter telescope

The smaller eyepiece for finding the object you want is easier to use than the larger for detailed viewing, but this is a very nice starter telescope for your kids.

A Decent Scope for Beginners

(3 out of 5) by James Ware on Dec 18, 2007
I would like to give this item three and a hilf stars. It is a reasonable telescope for a beginner and/or youth at an attractive price from one of the most respected names in optics.

It will show you some of the cooler sites of the universe: the Pleides, the Andromeda Galaxy, Orion and various well defined binaries.

Like any good beginners scope, it will leave you hungry for more. (It will also show how spoiled we have become by Hubble images.)

The Powerseeker is well priced as an entry level scope so that you don't have to spend hundreds for a telescope for junior that will live in his closet after the novelty has worn off.

It comes with three eyepieces and a Barlow extension- impressive for the price.

Great for the price

(5 out of 5) by S. Kosloske on Sep 21, 2008 (Milwaukee, WI USA)
Very complete system for the price, and the addition of the software is a great addition.

This telescope obviously doesn't have the high-end mount needed for tracking or finding objects, but it's a GREAT beginners telescope. Has everything you need.
