What apeture does it have? I'd start with at least a 75mm. The bigger the better though. Get the biggest apeture you can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1ay Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 heres the link http://www.telescopes.com/products/Tasco_578x60mm_Refractor_15124.htmlIt will do the job for looking at the moon, some of the larger planets when they're in opposition and some of the larger messier objects. It'll suffice for a beginner scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 ___My experience is that the type of scope you have in mind on that link (Tasco 3" refractor) is not worth the money. Why not? Wobbly tripod, poor optics, won't work for terrestrial use, no inclination, declination markings, higher power eyepieces next to useless...___For your $60 I recommend binoculars or a spotting scope with a tripod mount like shooters use. Why? High quality optics, useable for astronomy or terrestrial viewing, durable construction, ease of use, select your own mount, & some have a zoom.
