Got this in an email from Martin Ferlito.. classic!

Check out the description at the top, as well as the way the kid is holding the scope :)

:rofl: :thumbsup:

I daresay that littlie's quite disappointed with the view

Unless he's got a thing about pyrex.

And good to see the scope being steered around by the eyepiece holder

I dont know, looking into a newt. mirror reflection might provide lots of fun for a youngster, assuming that scope even has a mirror that is facing the right way LOL

Hmm, an astrological telescope eh…..perhaps that's why he's looking through the front end.....

Sigh

Obviously he's just checking the collimation.......for tomorrow's horoscope!

:whistle:

[Omaroo]

Ah... this is better - now he's got it sorted. That end cap is transparent you know.

[Omaroo]

ooh... what's this? An "eyepiece" you call it? Still looks pretty dark though!

I've seen a National Geographic store sales person trying to sell a telescope to a young family explaining how to use it, with it set up upside down and looking through it the wrong way, like example A that Mike posted.

I cringed and thought it was beyond help.

Since then I've lost count the number of times I've seen them setup upside down in National Geographic and DSE.

Roger.

I wonder if it comes with one of those useful, complimentry eyepiece solar filters.

[ving]

dont you all know!! that is how you use a astrological telescope!!!

i wonder if it shows any good luck for pisceans? ;)

[h0ughy]

Looks like he is aiming a TOW missile......

What's wrong with the photo. You're suppose to look in the front aren't you? That's where the light goes in. :)

Here's a pic of my Grandson Kaleb. He has is worked out. No EP, but he knows where to look in a refractor. He kept saying he could see the Aliens :screwy:

Hmmm, I'll have to see where he looks in my dob :lol:
