Greetings,

I am aware of general warnings about getting scopes from department stores etc.
but would make any difference if it was a Meade, specifically the Meade Polaris
AZ-D 60?

Would I be able to see the Saturn rings, 4 main moons in Jupiter etc?

Also, can't find specifications of this scope in www.meade.com ... probably not
a good sign.

Thanks very much,
Excalibur

Get something from Orion instead, as you'd stand a better chance
of not getting snookered; not that that's a high improbability with Orion,
however...

....but stay away from...begin ominous music...the "Transporter"...

I simply can't believe it! The darn thing's backordered!
