Yes I know its not anywhere near as good as what you people use but thought to myself that if I don't buy it, I'll never get into this. Anyway I hope to learn from you guys and gals.
Take care

Hi
I have looked through a National Geographic scope also from Aldi. The view was awful, BUT, it wasn't the scope so much as the nasty little eyepiece that it came with.
If you can, borrow a reasonable eyepiece and compare. Even if the set up you bought is poor, the view might be much better with a better eyepiece.
Good luck and enjoy!
