The images look terrible to me, more like something from one of those  
ads in the back of a magazine except the price should be $39. I don't  
understand why, but astronomical telescopes seem to make lousy camera  
lenses. Televue telescopes are about as good as they come for small  
astronomical telescopes but here are a bunch of terrestrial shots  
that would cause a camera owner to change brands.

I would rather spend the $1000 on a good sharp zoom, or a telescope  
better than this one.

Actually you could probably buy both for that price.
