Fun indeed! You'll enjoy hours of stellar exploration with this amazing little telescope. Designed specifically with youngsters and first-time telescope buyers in mind the FunScope is a great way to "test the waters" of stargazing - affordably! But what can you see with it? The FunScope features a 76mm polished spherical mirror allowing you to capture 60 percent; more light than a typical 60mm beginner's telescope. So you can observe the Moon Saturn's rings as well as Jupiter and its four brightest moons all under light-polluted skies. Under dark skies even star clusters emission nebulae and some of the brighter galaxies are not beyond reach.The FunScope comes equipped with a "red dot" finder rack-and-pinion focuser and two 1.25" quality eyepieces: 20mm (15x) and 10mm (30x). So you can easily locate and observe objects in the night sky. The FunScope's table-top mount features a quick-release dovetail mechanism so the telescope can be easily detached and mounted on a tripod. Alternatively the entire FunScope and mount itself can be mounted onto a tripod with a 3/8" screw. Adjustable tension clutches on both axes let you determine tube movement in both directions. Weighing just 4 lbs. the ultra-portable FunScope can go with you just about anywhere! It makes a great gift for anytime of the year especially during the holiday season. Who knew so much fun could come in such a small package? See for yourself and pick up a FunScope today!

Great optics for the price!

This is a great deal for this telescope. I found that the 130mm or a little over 5" optics produces great detail on objects like the moon Jupiter Saturn or the great Orion nebula. I have looked through several telescopes in the past in various price ranges and I have to say that this is one of the best for a telescope under $100. It also has a very decent mount and tripod stable for what you pay for. I found it easy to point and manually track celestial objects. One of the best buys I ever made.More detail ...

Not worth the money

This bag seems to be a little oversized for the xt10. There is a lot of extra room in the bag. I suppose it does do the job of protecting the telescope but I don't think it is worth a hundred bucksMore detail ...
