I had one of these years ago.

I had one of these years ago.
It was in the early 90's before the advent of budget skywatcher telescopes.It was my first telescope.It was actually white in color.This is a different color.
It was equatorially mounted.
It is a good beginners scope to stimulate young kids interest in Astronomy.

Wow I picked up this scope last year for $20. I love it. These are amazing shots you have taken and you have inspired me to continue investing in this scope. I will be making it 1.25" very soon

I had a similar model back in the 90s. A very solid and good performing telescope. It was probably the only Tasco telescope that wasn't consider trash back in those days, however it was way overpriced at $600.
