Reviews aren't great, but typical for the price and wide field. Google is your friend.

Will have a bit of colour, not great for planets.

Reviews aren't great, but typical for the price and wide field. Google is your friend. The only real innovation is hiding the star diagonal in the main tube. That's what it says, rich-field! But is it flat field or what? Just a plain Fraunhofer achromat and a fast one. Will have a bit of colour, not great for planets. Fast refractors and wide fields tend to be demanding on eyepieces too. There is no free lunch. -- Regards, Martin Brown

The inclusion of the 7x50 binocular is problematic, because the FOV isn't specified. The eyepiece might be nice to have, at 70-deg AFOV. You get a case too. Maybe the tripod can be used with other equipment. I would rather a beginner get a larger-aperture Newtonian and a binocular of his/her own choosing.
