(incidentally Alex, I just bought a national Geographic Reflector telescope from an ALDI supermarket. Obviously poor optics, but for $119 it is ridiculous value. Its the smallest reflector I have seen on the market (76mm with 700mm FL) but has an equatorial mount with slow motion controls, 3 eyepieces, 3 times Barlow lens, moon filter, Iphone adapter for photography and erecting lens. Perfect for children learning how to use telescopes or just to have permanently set up for easy viewing. Having said that, imagine what Galileo and Newton would have done with this telescope if they had their hands on it? Gallileo's 3 refractors were between 15mm and 38mm in diameter. Newton's Reflector had a 40mm (~) mirror. So in comparison this ALDI toy is a supreme research grade optical instrument with advanced manual equatorial control system and sturdy tripod to assist the lower back)
