Geez they have product warnings on all manner of things, why not cheap telescopes ?

WARNING: This wobbly frustrating piece of junk is not suitable for viewing the night sky.
It is designed to catch unsuspecting newcommers and to actively discourage an interest in astronomy by making it too hard.

Yes the tripod mount looks cool and makes it look like a real telescope, but what may look sturdy enough in the shop becomes a wobbly resonating contraption once those shakes are magnified at the eyepiece by 100x or more.
