Rocket Boy,

Not to be too critical of a prezzy that has certainly made a little girl very happy, but I have to comment on something about the product.

Now, we all understand that 'Meade' knows telescopes. They have been making them for long enough.
But I am shocked to see so much 'white' on the INSIDE of the 2ndry mirror cage! It goes against everything in scope making!!!!

And the trusses are bright aluminium. It seems they have concentrated on having a pretty scope rather than a practical scope.

Paint the trusses and the inside of the 2ndry cage matt black and it will be a far better scope as far as light reflection and light scatter goes.
