Mine was a crappy 60mm tasco achro The tube was metal and the eyepieces were actual glass, not like the crap you can see these days, but it was still not a great scope. So much chromatic aberration and so little aperture. But I did spend many, many hours with that scope scaring the Milkman at 3 in the morning. But eventually I got frostrated with all the things I couldn't see, and not having the $$$ for an upgrade, I found other things to fill my time. For my 30th birthday my wife bought me an 8" as a present. We're not together anymore (the wife, or that particular scope) but it was one of the best presents ever and the beginning of reinvigorating my love of the stars. I used that 8" newt to show the kids at my local primary school the transit of Venus.
