Hi,

Before we begin, I know that this telescope is a very basic one, I know that
there is better models for a few dollars more, etc. But I will buy it using
AirMiles points, so in a sense it cost me nothing and this is the only model
of telecope available with AirMiles. So don't bother to recommand me bying
another brand, this is THIS telescope or nothing. And the "nothing" means
that my wife will grab all the AirMiles points to buy something else for
her... haha! ;-)

Telescope specs are at the end of the message.

So, what can I expect to see with this telescope?

Saturn rings?
Jupiter?
Neptune?
Other galaxies or nebulas???
Asteroids???

I have absolutely no idea what can be seen with this telescope, and at which
size and quality. For example, how Jupiter will appear in that telescope?
Smaller then a dime nearly without colors, or bigger?

Or course the Moon will be viewable, but what more can I see that I don't
already see with my eyes? What kind of details will I see?

Of course the best way to give me a good idea is to direct me on a website
with images taken with a telescope of this power. An image worth 1000
words! ;-)

So, even if the telescope is "free", I want to be able to have fun with it
and not only looking at the moon.

Thanks for your comments everyone.
Jack
