No, I wouldn't write it off too quickly.
The photo in the catalogue indicates it is an Australian Geographic brand scope.
So I would put it in the same category as the tabletop dobs from the leading brands, but at half the price.
But it is only 76mm aperture, remember.
Probably great for the moon, and some brighter large Clusters.

You gave them an Eq mounted scope?
John, what were you thinking?

This one may be a little too far the other way.
Unless the relatives included a youngster.
