iOptron 6001 900X70 Refractor Telescope (Red)

iOptron manufactures some heavy hitting telescopes. This one is designed for the beginner. Well worth the money. I had an issue where the refractor tube had been damaged in the box. iOptron sent me another without delay and no additional fees. Great company good scope.

Besides making the ordering, shipping, and receiving easy; Walmart made this a great price. Which helped keep my budget down, but gave me the opportunity to give my 12 year old grandson something he really wanted. He and his father are using it all the time; and learning more with each use. I just love giving presents that can help with personal growth, and this is just perfect!

Purchased this for Xmas present for my 9yr. old grandson. To say the least I hear he is having a blast with this telescope. He spotted a herd of elk with it and then tried to use his camera and take a picture through the telescope viewer of the elk!! Didn't work out trying to take a picture, but as you see he thought he could get a close up picture just as he saw when he looked through the telescope, his dad had to explain why it wasn't meant to use that way. Great for keeping a 9yr. old busy and entertained.

I did a lot of research on telescopes, comparing specs with other higher priced telescopes. No one came near for the money. Still I was skeptical, but I read some reviews and for the price, you just couldn't top it. It arrived quickly and my 15 year old son was thrilled with it. My husband is also interesting in sky viewing. It's been some great father/son bonding time. My husband is very impressed with the telescope, especially for the money! I don't think you'll be disappointed, we're not!!

This is a REAL telescope, and needs to be adjusted using the nobs. Kids are a bit excited to see, and want to use their hands to push and pull up and make their own adjustments. When the excitement wears off, we will all enjoy the night sky.
