This.

Even £5000 scopes won't give you colour images to the naked eye, just brighter grey smudges as opposed to dimmer grey smudges. you'll need a proper mount, small refractor, with mono camera, software, guider, lrgb filters, Photoshop, deep pockets and a s**t load of patience to get something Hubble like.

And then you find out the UK gets about 20 nights a year where you get really decent seeing, and of those 20 you'll find youll be on holiday or need to be up for work at tw@ o'clock. So 5 nights a year realistically. Then you find you need to do windows updates before you start, or camera won't talk to sharpcap, or the ascom driver fails, or your polar alignment is crap, plate solving not working....

Quite possibly the most frustrating money pit of a hobby imaginable. I wish I never looked up sometimes :wink:

Please don't. I am a bit of a star gazer and have 3 telescopes. These are very poor quality. The RRP's are not representative of what you should get the for the money.

Agree with Lonebod. I'm also an astronomer and I would say these are a complete, utter waste of money. It's not true that you need a huge aperture 'scope to look at the night sky, but there is a certain minimum quality these just don't make. About the best starter scope you can get - not too expensive, optically good and dead easy to use - is the Skywatcher Heritage 130p. Buy from a decent supplier such as this lot:

https://www.firstlightoptics.com/beginner-telescopes/skywatcher-heritage-130p-flextube.html

It has enough aperture to let in sufficent light to see some interesting stuff. Just don't expect Hubble like views.

Is the telescope priced at £49.99 any good? Or have they got inflated rrps?

Or the one price at £52.

still good to go by the looks of it,not surprising really not many stargazers on hukd or anywhere in UK .for that matter,would buy myself as it looks value for money but selling them on would be a long slow slog.

£52 one is the 789931 model selling on Amazon for £117,now the bad news reviews are poor and these are poor sellers
