Small Tasco Cat

Anyone ever seen one of these small table top Tasco Cats? Are they actually
made by Tasco as it does not appear listed on their website. The pictures
indicate a reasonable build quality but I wonder what the optical quality is
like?

For around £100 for a small portable instrument it's looks good value, but I
smell a bit of a rat. No offence to Tasco, but they do have a poor
reputation. Any comments appreciated.

Yes. Wobbly as hell on that skinny mount.

Tasco (originally the Taiwan-America Shipping Corporation) do not make
telescopes, they brand telescopes made by a variety of manufacturers,
usually Far Eastern.


Best,
