Another ALDI telescope

Next Saturday, ALDI will be selling a 76/700 (f/9) Newt on an equatorial mount for $99.95.

Could be worth a crack for the kids - it's another Nat Geo. I expect there will be lots of plastic, bad at best EP's and shake-o-matic mount and tripod but who knows - those little Dobs worked better than many claimed (I still have one for the girls here now repainted yellow and the image it gives with a cheap Plossl is not too bad!).

It's in their new catalogue in store, but not online yet, THOUGH you can JUST see a snippet of the scope in this page: https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/
