Review of Galileoscope Telescope

Customer Ratings:

An economic educational telescope. I have built it and taken it apart several times to educate my children on how telescopes works.

The optics are great, clear and allow us to study the planets and search for star clusters. Very easy to use. The focusing needs a little getting used to but by using a screwing action one can get sharp viewing.

I have other larger telescopes, but this is my preferred quick look and traveling telescope.

I would not consider this a toy, rather an educational instrument.

You just need to also buy a tripod (a good photo tripod will do). It is a telescope of excellent quality that gives you the direct experience of what Galileo could see. Verify if you do as well or better than the great man. Why is it cheap? Because the aim was to make astronomy interesting and available to every child. You can pay 2 or 3 times as much for something poor. One of the advantages is that there is quantity of web sites to help you with this, from Galileo.org to noao.edu. It is a smart gift for any teen if you want to spend some time with the teen in question.

A telescope is like a piano, not many kids will enjoy it on their own.

I wanted something that was a step up from my monocular, and that was easy to take with me when I go on my night-time star walks. This fills the bill, and is easy to sight, too! I've recommended it to my friends!

This was a gift for my science-loving son's 9th birthday. Putting it together definitely required dad's help, and though we see the moon really well, we've had a harder time using it to see much else.
