Lucky you as you must have got the only good one , I would have loved it at 14 years old when I started this hobby but as StardrifterWA says " , we become some sort of expert's over the years ". and as you say it started you off on our sweet hobby and that's not a bad thing .
On the 'Plactic' comment , I stripped the objective and all 3 eyepieces and there was not one ! piece of glass in any ,, all PLASTIC !!! shame on you Celestron ...
and the only metal in the whole thing was the OTA ( Alloy) and the focuser shaft and the nuts and bolts ( steel ? ) ,, it was a joke alright .
