Hi,
Aldi have a dobsonian telescope advertised from today for $49.99 -
http://www.aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/2827_24667.htm
Basically it is a 76mm with focal length of 350mm and comes with 1.25" accessories. I saw this same item advertised in the german Meade site for 79 Euros. Any comments on this for a real beginners scope, or any experience with this? It doesn't look like the mirror cell has collimation adjustments which might be a minus.

P.S. Looking for a basic scope for relatives. Last one I gave them came back - apparently the equatorial was too complicated.
